MAY SURVEY

The May website survey is asking about blood pressure measurement and ME/CFS.

Blood pressure is the pressure of blood in your arteries – the vessels that carry blood from your heart to your brain and the rest of your body. You need a certain amount of pressure to keep the blood moving round all parts of your body. Your blood pressure naturally goes up and down throughout the day and night, and it’s normal for it to go up while you’re moving about.

Is your blood pressure usually normal, low (hypotension) or high (hypertension)? Or do you not know what your blood pressure measurement is?
