I read Fibro can be giving some of us issues with our Vascular system, making them lose there elasticity and then leading to conditions like I now have, Hypotension, low blood pressure. In turn this adds to the fatigue we already have from non-restorative sleep.

So, what type of specialist would I see for this? A cardiologist or is there a specialty just for the vascular system?

I am not a doctor nor do I work in the medical field. My opinions and suggestions are just that, just what I think and have to offer that I hope is helpful to you. Always rely on your doctor when making medical decisions.
