Nanci - there's nothing to do about the brainstem and the blood acidity (or lack thereof) The researchers have only just started figuring this one out, and the only "treatment" out there is just being aware and controlling the breathing when the symptoms erupt. And keeping an eye on my mitral valve noise.
I'm betting there's something dietary I could do, there's gotta be SOME way to either increase my blood acidity or increase the buffering in my system. (hey, I could drink vinegar and eat baking soda! jk!) It kinda looks like something in the spring is kicking off my gut, and then my gut is kicking off the brainstem thing. Neuro #2 said can't do much until it comes back again next year.
It's all chemistry. I should've been paying attention in chem classes....
