Headache and Confusion
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome may also affect the nervous system. And some of its manifestations include headache, confusion, and fatigue. These symptoms may occur due to the overproduction of mast cells in the peripheral and central nervous systems.
Mast cells naturally play a role in resisting infection and subsequent tissue repair. When they appear, they may cause allergic-like and inflammatory symptoms. But these symptoms clear up on the road to recovery. In the case of MCAS, the symptoms occur periodically, even without a trigger. In addition, mast cell activation may crowd the nervous system and present mild to severe symptoms, which can be debilitating.
Most MCAS symptoms occur with other conditions, and it may take a thorough investigation and examination to determine the exact health issue. That’s why a visit to a doctor is advisable for patients experiencing severe headache symptoms. Headache and confusion may lead to more serious complications that can hamper one’s ability to perform well in their daily duties.
