Blood pressure

Does Fibromyalgia affect our blood pressure? This morning I got a little dizzy and checked my b/p. It was 108/48. Surprised me... low for me. Other times it's a little on the high side.

I'm not sure if I ever read anything about blood pressure and Fibro.

Never thought about it. My is always high (two meds, morning and night) and it's still high but so is my mom's and my two adult kids, so figured genetics.

Could it be from any of your medications ? Did you stand up suddenly or faster than usual ?

"Disorders Affected by the Sympathetic (also called Autonomic) Nervous System. Other conditions that commonly occur with fibromyalgia include:

-Chest pain and heart palpitations
-Mitral valve prolapse
-Sudden drop in blood pressure"

One of my meds has that as a possible side effect. Let your doc know.
