This isn't ME/CFS research but it's not unrelated either, so I thought this should be in the ME/CFS research section.
I’ve previously considered myself to be unlikely to have POTS. I can be almost normally active on very good days (paid for later).
But a recent experience of tachycardia (110-135bpm when normal resting was 58-70) for days on end, and repeated instances in the days before and after that of...
I thought I'd put this in 'News' rather than 'Research' as it looks a bit amateurish. (Maybe Julia Newton was in a teaching capacity?) (He repeatedly misspells 'encephalomyelitis'.)

Hi,
My question is has anybody tried fludrocortisone and has it made any difference?
My M. E. is very severe I am bedbound does anybody know whether this would assist in enabling me to sit up in bed?
I realise that you have to increase salt intake and wear compression stockings but I just...

I don't understand that. Orthostatic intolerance is the inability to tolerate standing up. By definition you know you have that if you have it.
Maybe Dr Bateman is referring to haemodynamic changes that might be thought to...

My take away from this: patients with hypocapnic cerebral hypoperfusion present the same symptoms as patients with POTS but can fail a tilt test due to absence of tachycardia.
ME/CFS is also mentioned.

I’m currently crashing and I’m just curious about how you would describe your crashes/flares/PEM/bust phases? What does it feel like? (Bearing in mind I won’t be able to read long answers ;))
To me it feels like the top of my spine is inflamed and also the area which is likely my spleen. Light...
