Cardiovascular Hyporeactivity and Fatiguing Illness in Gulf War Veterans |
|
The main objective of this study is to determine specifically how low blood pressure (as noted in a previous study) may contribute to chronic fatigue in Gulf War veterans. A secondary objective is to examine the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on cardiovascular autonomic function.

Disordered Responses to Orthostatic Stress in the Pathogenesis of Gulf War Syndrome Symptoms |

A study to determine if the group of symptoms reported by Gulf War veterans is fundamentally linked to chronic fatigue which in turn if linked to orthostatic intolerance (a drop in blood pressure, causing dizziness when rising from a chair or bed).
