Cardiovascular functional stability was studied in 17 young men (20-year-old conscripts) with the symptoms of primary fibromyalgia (PF). They were compared to 20 medical students of the same age. The subjects underwent an orthostatic test, deep breathing test, Valsalva maneuver, and a handgrip test. They were evaluated by an autoanamnestic questionnaire on vegetative symptoms and laboratory tests on blood chemistry. The heart rate of the PF group after 8 min of active standing was 32 +/- 15 beats/min greater than at supine rest. The corresponding figure for the controls was 23 +/- 7 beats/min (p = 0.001). Twelve conscripts with PF (71%) presented sympathicotonic cardiovascular reaction on the orthostatic test (p < 0.001). Four of these sympathicotonic conscripts and two other conscripts (total 35%) had an abnormal high index of dystonic symptoms (p = 0.01). The results suggest that young men with symptoms of PF have not only cardiovascular dystonic symptoms but also increased sympathetic nervous reactivity of the cardiovascular system.
