Do you have chronic fatigue syndrome? Here’s how it impacts heart health
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex and debilitating condition characterized by persistent fatigue that is not alleviated by rest and is accompanied by a range of other symptoms. While the exact cause of CFS remains unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of factors including viral infections, immune system dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and genetic predisposition.
The ANS plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion. In individuals with CFS, dysfunction of the ANS can lead to alterations in blood pressure control. This dysregulation can result in fluctuations in blood pressure, including both hypotension (low blood pressure) and hypertension (high blood pressure). These fluctuations can pose significant risks to heart health, as hypertension is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.
Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have autonomic dysfunction which can lead to alterations in blood pressure control and creates a positive inflammatory state in the body. An increase in the oxidative stress leads to an increase in chances of having a Heart Attack, resistance to anti hypertensive medications & increase in incidence of arrhythmia like Atrial Fibrillation. Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome also tend to develop impaired glucose tolerance leading to metabolic syndrome. An early diagnosis and management of chronic fatigue syndrome helps in preventing long term life threatening complications.
