Kiya, you need to see a cardio doctor. Fibro is considered an AI and AI's tend to group together. For me it started with lupus, then fibro, RA and now pulmonary fibrus. So please call and get into a cardio doctor. Most likey they will do a stress test, an echo cardio gram and you might have to wear a holiter monitor for 24 hours. None of these test hurts but will give your doctor a good insite into what's going on with your heart.

Lupus has affected my heart. My heart is enlarged and I have a leaking vave plus fluid around my heart. So please call a cardio ASAP.

Jan, if the insurance is giving you issues and the doctors office has the meds can you go get them from them just so you have them and can start them before the weekend? If not I belong to another forum for lupus patients and there is help out there where you can get your meds a little or no cost depending on your income. My sister in law has parkensen's and did not have insurance for years and that is how she got her medicine.

Good luck and keep us posted
