Prevalence[edit | edit source]

Orthostatic intolerance is a commonly dysfunction in ME/CFS[1] Estimates of the rate of orthostatic intolerance in chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis patients vary widely, with estimates as low as 50% to as high as 97% of patients.[2]

Orthostatic intolerance is also commonly associated with fibromyalgia[3]

Orthostatic intolerance is diagnosed by a tilt table test. It is part of the Institute of Medicine report's proposed diagnostic criteria for systemic exertion intolerance disorder.[4]

orthostatic intolerance (OI) - The development of symptoms when standing upright, where symptoms are relieved upon reclining. Patients with orthostatic intolerance have trouble remaining upright for more than a few seconds or a few minutes, depending upon severity. In severe orthostatic intolerance, patients may not be able to sit upright in bed. Orthostatic intolerance is often a sign of dysautonomia. There are different types of orthostatic intolerance, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

tachycardia An unusually rapid heart beat. Can be caused by exercise or illness. A symptom of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). (Learn more: www.heart.org)
