Hi.
Elevated blood pressure needs early medical intervention in the form of appropriate antihypertensive therapy.Comorbid medical conditions like peptic ulcer can worsen in presence of high blood pressure.Early fatigue is a part of the chronic fibromyalgia in your case and is not related to the elevated blood pressure.I advise you to have your baseline ecg and 2 dimensional echo to rule out any organic heart disease.Consult your cardiologist at the earliest.
Thank you.
