Re: cfs

I get some similar symptoms, from orthostatic intolerance. My blood pressure and pulse pressure can drop after being upright (even just sitting up) after a while, but then I feel better after laying down for a while.

Maybe this is the same thing?

Re: cfs

The MEA has an information leaflet covering the management of orthostatic intolerance (= problems relating to standing upright for any length of time) and orthostatic hypotension (= fall in blood pressure on standing leading to symptoms such as nausea, feeling faint, dizziness).
