Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 The majority of people with ME/CFS get low blood pressure but not all. Mine is about 80/50 on a good day lower than that on bad days (i.e. most days!). My mother has equally severe ME and her blood pressure is high most of the time. One thing to watch out for is rapidly changing blood pressure - my mother's is usually too high but can suddenly go extremely low for brief periods. Her doctor was on the ball and spotted this, and said it would be dangerous to give her blood pressure lowering meds. I think these rapid canges are also a part of having ME/CFS.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I agree with you 100%. I am part of the low blood pressure group and it does fluctuate suddenly. I have gotten used to it but at first it can be very frightening. Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday!
