Does Fibromyalgia Cause Flu Like Symptoms With Rapid Heart Rate And Back Pain Radiating Across Rib Cage ?
I am a 32 year old female recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after going through 9 years of symptoms. I am having blood work done on Monday because I have added symptoms that have recently started. Along with the fibro symptoms; fatigue, muscle ache, restless sleep, flu like feelings, memory problems; I am also running a daily low grade fever for the past year, rapid heart beat (135 bpm) for the past year and a half, night sweats, feelings of being hot one minute and cold the next during the day, and a strange back ache that starts on the left side under my rib cage and radiates across. I'm not sure what it is, but I feel I have more than Fibro going on. My question is: What could this possibly be and will it show in blood tests? I will be seeing my Rheumatologist when the results are in, but I am curious now. Thank you for your answers.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem and let me tell you some fact that the fibromyalgia more or less is functional disease, and this wont be harmful in any way even your blood reports will also turns negative, the symptomatic medicine will give good result, but you need to keep your self away from the anxiety and depression, I believe that you must be on some kind of drugs for this, and if it is there then you may continue that, take care and have good time
