Have you seen this patient?

They report food reactions, flushing, GI symptoms, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, or pain.

Their symptoms cross multiple systems. Routine testing has not explained why they feel so unwell.

You may already be caring for patients with MCAS, even if the diagnosis has not yet been considered.

Ā 

MCAS may show up as:

  • Food reactions, flushing, hives, or unexplained rashes
  • GI symptoms, headaches, brain fog, or fatigue
  • Palpitations, dizziness, or blood pressure changes
  • Multisystem symptoms with a routine workup that appears normal

Ā 

The challenge is not simply knowing the symptoms.

It's recognizing when they form a pattern.

Ā 

Designed for clinicians who care for patients with complex symptoms
