Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your medical history and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to fibromyalgia.
Vertigo in your situation can be related an
inner ear disorder, or a low blood flow to the brain (possibly caused by narrowing of the posterior circulation or vertebral arteries).
Your actual symptoms do not seem to be related to the past episode of vertigo. A metabolic disorder or depression could be related to your actual symptomatology.
I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG
- Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries
- some blood lab tests (
complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for possible
thyroid dysfunction, cortisol plasma levels, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, blood
lipid profile).
A
electromyography would help exclude possible myastenic syndrome as your symptoms seem to worsen during the night.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Meanwhile, I would recommend performing a lot of physical activity (walking, yoga, swimming), which can be helpful in case of depression.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
