Hi Fibro friends!!
I have a question.
I was cooking today. Feeling somewhat ok. All of a sudden, I FELT the energy slipping out of my body. It started diving from my head, to my feet. I didn't have any idea as to what was occurring. I could barely finish cooking. I hurried up, finished, and fell asleep for an hour. I still didn't feel right after the "nap." It wasn't my blood sugar (I'm hypoglycemic), it was 85. I checked my blood pressure, and it was up. 150/95. Which is very high for me.
Has anyone ever felt this kind of a drain, related to fibro? I felt some pain in the upper areas of where my lungs would be, and my left shoulder hurts, but besides my low back, and my feet (surgery), the fibro muscular pain wasn't there.
I don't know what this could have been. I have an appointment with my Dr. tomorrow. Mainly , because I panicked. I just keep wondering if it's my fibro??
Take care gang!!
Here's hoping for less pain for us all!!
XOXO

that's odd I get some sort of attacks were I almost pass out but can't figure them out either, then I get sure exhaustion, I do not know what happens. But I too was going to ask my doctor about it. I wonder if anyone gets it too.isabee
This sound like classic Chronic fatigue, except I usually crash for two to three hours. coming out of it takes a while too. That is why i call it a Zombie nap!
Having had blood pressure issues myself, I would say that your bp may be the cause. For me, fibro is more of a constant exhaustion or after overdoing it (maybe you did the day before), I will "crash and burn" like you described. But, only after I have overdone it real good will I crash like that and then usually I'm down for the count.
Also, when I first went on fibro meds, I would wind down like that every afternoon almost exactly at 3:30pm and would have to take a nap.
