Dysregulated Autonomic Nervous System May Contribute To Fibromyalgia Heart Problems
It is believed that people with fibromyalgia have a dysregulated autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls several automatic functions in the body, which includes blood pressure and heart rate. The aforementioned study can provide additional evidence to back the claim.
The group of researchers also analyzed the fluctuations of heartbeat in patients with fibromyalgia, which involves using the jagged lines that you will see in a heart monitor. They found patterns that were different from healthy participants, which again suggests that there are problems with the autonomic nervous system as well as its ability to control the heart rate.
