Primary care doctor: See your regular doctor; many many symptoms are common to many diseases, and most pts w/ symptoms of fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome don't have any specific disease. There are, however, a few important things to be checked. Ecg (check heart rate, rhythm, ischemia), lab tests (electrolytes, thyroid, hydration) as well as history/physical exam. More possibilities: depression, nutrition, .

Rheumatologist, too.: Rheumatologists specialize in joint and autoimmune diseases. They can confirm what your symptoms seem to add up to be. However, a holistic/integrative/functional medicine physician can help you discover if food sensitivities, heavy metal toxicity, vitamin deficiencies, etc. Are giving you a clinical picture that is masquerading as cfs or fibromyalgia.
