Is Excess Brain Histamine The Cause of Your Symptoms?

www.DrHagmeyer.com Welcome to Dr Hagmeyer's KZbin Channel.
Your brain is constantly receiving signals from the environment via inputs from your five senses. The brain doesn’t simply receive and process them; it takes four complex systems, called the aminergic systems, to process the information and ensure it goes through the correct channels. One of these systems is known as the histaminergic system, which involves a histamine-mediated process. The role of histamine here is one of homeostasis, or balance. It acts as a modulator of the stimuli received relating to
The sleep-wake cycle
Motivation and goal seeking behaviors
Satiety, feeding behaviors and taste perception
Neurotransmitter regulation
Addictive behaviors
Memory formation
Stress
Pain perception
Those all seem pretty important, don’t they; and with this in mind, you can begin to paint a picture of why an increase in your histamine load affects your brain so profoundly.

I’ve had an intense allergy season with this hectically blocked nose and itchy mouth/face/eyes for the last month and the allergy tablets weren’t working so yesterday I went to my doc for an allergy shot. So it’s something like cortisol steroids or something and lasts like 3 or 4 months. I used to have it often when I was a student because I was allergic to some grass or dust mite in my student town. Anyway I’ve always found that the day or two after the allergy shot I feel amazing. Like sluggish cognitive tempo and ADHD (AuDHD?) symptoms improve loads. Like sure it maybe keeps me awake a bit on the first night ruminating about exciting projects (I usually sleep like a baby even with mouth breathing). Hells I went for a walk and even my v02 max on my watch is 2 points higher. So yeah I’ve always figured there’s some link between allergies and cognition. Thanks for the vid!

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

My pleasure!

[@elainescott4702]

Very interesting talk. I was tested for allergies a year ago due to inflammation of the skin. Since I was a teenager I have suffered with stomach problems and sleep. I’m 65 years old and after a positive result of three chemical elements I now take cetirizine on a night and it has helped so much with sleep and stomach ache. I also have osteoarthritis and have noticed a slight reduction in joint pain too! Wish I had been tested years ago!

I am having these issues now. My micrbiome was destroyed by strict keto and carnivore, suggested by my doctor. I am finally fixing it and getting a new doc. Please never choose a doctor that pushed a certain diet as a cure for everything. If you have issues they will not be addressed. I lost three years of my life!

[@jols333]

I had been doing keto/carnivore and was only eating beef, a can of sardines each day, avocado, and strawberries for my vitamin C. I ended up with histamine intolerance! The worst part was that for the past two years I’ve been going to a gastroenterologist and they kept telling me I had acid reflux and I had no other symptoms except for a sore throat, and it wasn’t until I found another gastroenterologist online that mentioned my daily headaches, sore throat, constant bloating, stuffy nose, etc. can all be from a histamine intolerance. That’s when I began my own research and found out that beef is high, sardines are some of the highest form of histamine and so are strawberries and avocado. I’m now working to eat a low histamine diet and hopefully this will go away.

MTHFR genetic SNP (“methylation issues”) and histamine intolerance is a something to search as these are intricately related.

[@mollasima3251]

So how do you treat excess histamine in the brain and gut? You mention H blockers aren't enough and a low histamine diet isn't sustainable... So what do you do? You give no answer to this.

[@danacamp5437]

Take DAO enzyme with high histamine meals. It breaks it down.

What is the treatment for SIRS related to MCAS or just histamine intolerance?

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

Hi Lisa Both MCAS and CIRS are very complex disorders that reach into many systems of body. Unfortunately, not something I can answer in a Format like this. I encourage you to reach out to my office to schedule a discovery call so we can discuss further.

[@seanneville-dn5ty]

I DO respect an MD who is willing to have a patient attempt Alternative diet vs. straight to medication!! I would question those intolerant may have a genetic Polymorphism that would cause problems with that much protein (ie Methionine). These diets help many remedy their GI problems.

I seem to have become sensitive to foods. So I have put it down to histamine intolerant. Now I have very itchy eyes which I thought possibly high pollen levels. My body feels swollen, especially my arms. Also joint pains when I have a trigger. Sometimes my body feels warm/hit from inside. Please help. I've been to a few physicians and not one has come up with this or even suspected this. I think I may be in menopause too. I will be 50 in January. I have a few friends my age that are experiencing food allergies too, that they previously never had. I have a lot of mucus too and am always coughing

I have Type 1 Narcolepsy and have been prescribed Pitolisant for the past 3 months. I still don't understand if the drug raises histamine levels or merely makes the brain more receptive to existing levels. I am anxious about the possible long-term effects of raised histamine. I feel like a Guinea pig. I had terrible bouts of HSP vasculitus in the past and am long-term depressed. I also read it may increase chance of developing Parkinson's which my Grandpa died with. Very nervous.

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

Very understandable. Not familiar enough with narcolepsy and medications prescribed to treat it. I would look into testing neurotransmitters and genetic SNPS as it relates to NT and methylation.

My vision is fine but I feel like my eyes are either strained or are hard to focus. I am planning to go to the eye doctor of course but she does not consider what histamine intolerance can do to you.

Does histamine intolerance produce excess mucous?

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

It can yes.

[@robertrowan8738]

@@DrRichardHagmeyer yes definitely, I have a severe sinus problem on the left side of my head, eating the wrong foods , dairy products especially cheese, chocolate to much coffee,( better to drink decaf) there are many others, cause excess mucus. Eating the right food definitely helps to keep mucus under control. Also drinking water helps rather than tea and coffee. There is a little ball of nerves that control the flow of mucus into your sinuses, It can become over active for some reason causing excess mucus. The nerves can some times be damaged by an accident to the front of your head cusing excess mucus production. It can be a difficult problem to cure and manage. Doctors wil do there best to help you but it can be trial and error before you find the best way to manage it. But do not give up keep trying to find a solution.

Im a 70 year old man and once in a while I have insomnia. The second I start falling asleep My heart rate goes up , it feel like My pulse is pounding and I end up awake. Could this be related to histamine ?

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

I would follow up with sleep specialist or neurologist. Don’t think this symptom alone points towards Histamine. Look into dysautonomia and see if symptoms fit.
