Not a theory, particularly without data. However, I can tell you this much
Adenosine is a powerful coronary vasodilator. Adenosine
also acts as a powerful vasoconstrictor in brain blood vessels, exactly the oposite of
coronaries.
There are several other steps in the production of C-amp, such a g-protein involvement
at the cell wall level. Perhaps something in the pathway of c-amp production might be
a contributing physiological factors in CH. Never the less, I still feel that CH is a
disorder of the mind, with physiological consequences, sort of like epilepsy, or depression,
or panic attacks or some other psycotic/mania episode.
The coincidence is interesting, more now that I now that it happens to another person.
It would be interesting to see how many of the board members have
noticed such peculiarity.
