Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Hi Jen You and your doctor have probably already considere Epstein-Barr disease, and or Chronic Fatige Syndrome. Here is a good website about it anyway: http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/cfs I found this part to be especially interesting: A recent study at s Hopkins University found an abnormality in blood pressure regulation in 22 of 23 patients with CFS. This abnormality, called neurally mediated hypotension, causes a sudden drop in blood pressure when a person has been standing, exercising or exposed to heat for a while. When this occurs, patients feel lightheaded and may faint. They often are exhausted for hours to days after one of these episodes. When treated with salt and medications to stabilize blood pressure, many patients in the study had marked improvements in their CFS symptoms.
