Hi,
I'm having a bit of a crash today (I expect it will last a couple of days.) I just measured my heart rate and it was 49 bpm. I've measured it fairly often since becoming ill and it seems to be around 50 when I have a crash. Is this usual for people with ME? I know that would be okay if I were a highly trained athlete...But of course I've not done anything even approaching exercise for the last two years. I know bedrest might lower heart rate (I think) but I was up until 3am last night (I took my flat mate to hospital) and have only been 'bedridden' for today for this crash...
