    Heart rate as a measure of ME/CFS-relevant exertion/severity

    I'm not convinced heart rate tells us anything about ME/CFS. When I was moderate I could shower every day without issues and my heart rate would be between 110-120 for up to 15 mins. But if I took a beta blocker and walked 100m with a heart rate of 85, I still got PEM the next day.

    Open Validation of the Vienna Post-Exertional Malaise Assessment Questionnaire (V-PEM-AQ) – Rob Wüst

    It does sound like your condition fluctuates. I was able to do the exact same thing every day for a year when I was moderate. No week was better or worse than the next.

    I’m curious about how this theory explains the gradual baseline decline some people report after repeated PEM episodes. I think you posted about the mtDNA theory in other threads that I can't find at the moment.
