In genetically susceptible individuals, this can lead to chronic inflammatory response patterns that include mast cell instability.<\/p>\n        <p>For this reason, mold evaluation is often considered when MCAS symptoms are persistent or severe.<\/p>\n      <\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"hx-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"hx-faq-question\" onclick=\"this.parentElement.classList.toggle('active')\">\n        How is MCAS connected to POTS or dysautonomia?\n        <span class=\"hx-faq-chevron\">\u25be<\/span>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"hx-faq-answer\"><div class=\"hx-faq-answer-inner\">\n        <p>The autonomic nervous system regulates vascular tone, heart rate, and inflammatory signaling. When mast cells release histamine and other mediators, they can influence blood vessel dilation and heart rate. This is why MCAS and POTS frequently overlap.<\/p>\n        <p>Conversely, autonomic instability can increase immune reactivity. Stabilizing the nervous system is often an important part of restoring immune balance.<\/p>\n      <\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"hx-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"hx-faq-question\" onclick=\"this.parentElement.classList.toggle('active')\">\n        Why does stress make my MCAS worse?\n        <span class=\"hx-faq-chevron\">\u25be<\/span>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"hx-faq-answer\"><div class=\"hx-faq-answer-inner\">\n        <p>Stress activates the sympathetic nervous system and increases inflammatory signaling.
