Is it Possible to Diagnose a Fibromyalgia through a Blood Pressure Test?
By: Dr Alex Robber
When I go to the physician, there are two things I fear: step on the scale and taking my blood pressure. My problem with the scale is nothing but vanity. I don’t know many of those who like their weight to be advertised, so everyone in the neighborhood can hear. However, my problem with my blood pressure is a problem of pain.
I pick up the cuff because I understand it will be very painful when the nurse gets up. When I complained about the pain, one nurse called me a wimp. Fortunately, another pitying nurse instructed me to ask for this big mango that helps to decrease pain intensity.
I’m not alone-69% of fibromyalgia patients suffered from blood pressure screening according to the outcomes of a 2006 research. In the December 2006 problem of the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, a research entitled “Sphygmomanometer-Evoked Allodynia-A Simple Bedside Test Index of Babylon: A Multicenter Developmental Study” was released.
Terminology:
Sphygmomanometer – The normal blood pressure test, which is received at the doctor’s office for everyone.
Allodynia – A disease in which a stimulus that usually does not evoke pain outcomes in pain.
Objective: The research aimed to determine whether a clinical test sphygmomanometry used universally would be useful in the identification of FM patients.

Method:
In each one of three government outpatient facilities for rheumatological treatment students were 20 fibromyalgia patients, 20 rheumatoid arthritis patients, 20 arthritis patients and 20 healthy people. Each participant was requested, “Tell me if the pressure of the cuff causes pain if I bring your blood pressure.”
Results:
Although 69% of FM-patients had sphygmomanometric allodynia, only 10% of OA-patients, 5% of RA-patients and two% of healthy people did. In FM patients, the mean blood pressure value was smaller than in the other 3 organizations. The FM patients had an adverse correlation between their blood pressure value and complete Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire score, the number of points of tenderness and the FIQ visual analog scales for pain intensity and tiredness.
Conclusions:
The link between blood pressure tests and fibromyalgia diagnostic pain was powerful in this research. Sphygmomanometry is a straightforward test and a normal universal clinical procedure for identifying FM patients. Based on this research, scientists recommend that anyone with sphygmomanometry-evoked allodynia looks for other FM-functionalities. Stay Healthizes!
