My parents are deceased but I dont think so. To lower my HR during activity I have to stop all activity, take very deep breaths, hold it briefly then exhale slowly. This will be bring my HR down quickly. Otherwise it will remain high. There have been some recent articles about this.
Some research is indicating CFS patients have oxygen deficits. Blood oxygen saturation maybe normal yet we can still become oxygen starved. I have certainly experienced this. Our anaerobic metabolism is compromised. Most of us have significantly lowered anaerobic threshold. When we exceed our anaerobic threshold it causes post exertional malaise. I was given a two day CPET test that showed my anaerobic threshold is 78 bpm rather than normal which would be 150 bpm. This is what makes living with this such hell. Chronotropic incompetence is also common.
Dr Mcm, Always interesting, fascinating & educational. Thank you once again.
Interest from my side as a commercial diver in my younger days.
O2 used in surface decompression chambers after air diving sessions.
To prevent decompression sickness, or bends.
Here's a bit more regarding hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment.
Interestingly too. Dr James of the Dundee Royal Infirmary back in those days.
Was a registered diving doctor under the HSE provisions.
He knew the recovery from spinal & cerebral bends in both sports & commercial divers was dependent on rapid recompression in a chamber, with pure O2 administered via a mask/bib apparatus.
He came across some research that had examined the spinal cords of divers who'd suffered a severe spinal bend. Also the spinal cords of MS sufferers was identical.
His interest piqued he administered the hyperbaric treatment to an MS sufferer.
Their relief post that was profound. To the extent that the patient climbed out of the chamber by themselves & walked right past their own wheelchair before sitting down to complete the physical examination & written report.
Dr James got into a great deal of "controversy" over the treatment.
Indeed from whatever quarter. The treatment was vilified by some of his peers.
Hindsight/Wisesight possibly? Were the megapharmas involved in that vilification?
His & other's successful research led to the setting up of many such treatment centers around the world. Despite the "medical establishment's" cynicism.
Methylene blue may be very helpful.
Interesting.
It seems the issue is that VEGF is blocked from stimulating new vessel growth in tissue.
Mechanisms may be debated but methylene blue also protects cells from hypoxic injury until the situation is resolved.
Do your patients have low blood O2 saturation?
Ayurvedic medicine agrees, you must treat digestion.
Saturations are usually normal in long Covid patients.
These abnormalities will only be detected by sophisticated measurements or blood tests, eg VEGF.

Dundee center still doing great work still.

Here an example of the now classic "possible" benefits of hyperbaric O2 therapy for MS patients.
