10 Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Symptom #9: Cannot Stand for Long
We spend much of our time vertically. We will spend a lot of time walking or even just standing around talking to other people. While it can get tiring after a while, we can pretty much stay vertical for as long as we like. For some people, though, even standing up straight is not an easy thing to do.
One symptom that is fairly common in people with chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition known as orthostatic intolerance. The condition manifests itself as an urge to lay down after standing up straight even for short periods of time. It is caused by a lack of blood flow to the head, meaning the person has to lay down to allow the brain to get the blood it needs.
