> Not all researchers think that there is a link between NMH & CFS. Because the CFS diagnosis is often one of exclusion I think there is probably more than one cause. The two conditions also exist independently.My impression of the link between the two is that NMH indicates the individual is over-exerting at their particular resiliency level. It is all too easy to compare your current exercise exertion both to others around you, and more critically, to your own past abilities. You get over your own current real-time threshold, and your heart gets messed up.
With CFS, you can and will over-exert. It's the nature of the beast. One manifestation of over-exertion is NMH. You manage CFS, or it will manage you.
Just my cognitive perspective,
