MCAS
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) describes repeated episodes in which mast cells release chemicals, called mediators, that cause symptoms such as flushing, itching, hives, headaches, digestive problems and sometimes low blood pressure, according to The Mast Cell Disease Society. For a diagnosis, symptoms have to involve two or more organ systems at the same time, keep happening, and not be explained by another condition. A clinician makes the diagnosis. Zebra helps you record each episode with its timing and possible triggers.
