Your immune system is attacking you.
Why can’t your body control blood pressure? Heart rate?
Why does standing up feel impossible?
RESEARCHERS FOUND SOMETHING SHOCKING:
Autoimmune antibodies targeting your adrenergic receptors – the EXACT receptors that regulate:
– Blood vessel tone
– Heart rate
– Blood pressure response
THE DATA:
Long COVID patients: 111 picomoles/liter
Healthy controls: less than 53 picomoles/liter
That’s MORE THAN DOUBLE.
WHAT THIS MEANS:
Your immune system is literally fighting your body’s blood pressure regulators.
When antibodies block these receptors:
– Blood vessels can’t constrict properly
– Your heart compensates by RACING
– Standing triggers tachycardia
– You feel like you’re dying (but tests are normal)
THIS ISN’T:
– Just anxiety
– Deconditioning
– In your head
THIS IS:
– Measurable autoimmune dysfunction
– Scientifically proven
– REAL
TREATMENT IMPLICATIONS:
This discovery explains why immunomodulatory treatments help some patients:
– IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin)
– Rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody)
They target the ROOT autoimmune attack.

Your immune system is attacking you. Why can’t your body control your blood pressure or your heart rate? Why does just standing up feel impossible? Researchers tested longcoid patients and found something shocking. Autoimmune antibodies. These antibodies target your adinuric receptors, the very ones that regulate your blood vessel tone and heart rate. The level 111 picom per liter. For healthy people, it’s below 53. That’s more than double. Your own immune system is literally fighting your body’s blood pressure regulators. This isn’t just anxiety. This isn’t deconditioning. This is measurable autoimmune dysfunction. When antibodies block these receptors, they disrupt normal signaling. Your blood vessels can’t constrict properly and your heart compensates by racing. This discovery explains why imunom modulatory treatments like IV or rettoximeab can help some patients by targeting the root autoimmune attack. You deserve to understand what’s happening inside your body. Watch our full breakdown to learn more.
