Symptom #10: Symptoms Worse in the Morning
Our blood is pumped around the body constantly, and it needs to do this against the effects of gravity. This is achieved by maintaining a suitably high blood pressure and also through a system of valves that will be able to help the blood back up through the system.
Certain medical conditions can still be affected more by the effects of gravity, though, including phlebitis. Patients with phlebitis in their leg, for example, can find that their symptoms worsen when they put their legs down. It tends to be most noticeable just after they have woken up in the morning.
