Multiple Sclerosis & Vital Signs: Understanding Potential Impacts
Vital signs that may be affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) include:
- Blood pressure: MS can affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls blood pressure. This can lead to high or low blood pressure.
- Heart rate: MS can also affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls heart rate. This can lead to a fast or slow heart rate.
- Respiratory rate: MS can affect the muscles that control breathing. This can lead to a fast or slow respiratory rate.
- Body temperature: MS can affect the body's ability to regulate temperature. This can lead to a high or low body temperature.
It is important to monitor vital signs in people with MS to identify any changes that may indicate a need for medical attention.
