What Causes Tiredness And Pressure In Cheeks Despite Being On Treatment For Fibromyalgia?

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Jun 2016
Question: i was diagnosed as having a form of Myalgia, more than anything Fibromyalgia. I have started taking Lisinopril for high blood pressure and I take Norco 7.5 and Gabapenten 600mg all 3 times daily. I have been having pressure in my cheek/James on both sides of my face. I feel really tired and extremely tired. My blood pressure has dropped but my bottom number has been extra low, in the sixties. I am a 49 year old female also. My vision has been jumpy, like vertigo. My chest has been having some sharp pains also. I do not know what I should do.

Brief Answer:
Seems like right diagnosis.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that since you have multiple issues the diagnosis of fibromyalgia seems likely . You have been started on right treatment but this will take time to act so you need to wait till then . Also I would like to see your blood reports if any have been done . And any other thing you want to know specifically please ask. Please upload your reports at the earliest.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
