Lymes disease or Infectious mycoplasmas.  Symptoms right up that alley (total symptoms are all over body).  Muscle aches? RA symptoms? endometriosis or hysterectomy? "brain fog"? stinging eye pain, ankle/shin pain?

research www.immed.org and search Autoimune Illness and Mycoplasmas.   also research ILADS to have proper Lyme testing done w/ IGENEX labs for Borrelia Burgdorfer and coinfections of Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Rickesettia.

  Research Jemsek Specialty Clinic and LYMES symptoms/treatments.  Do this asap!  Do not waste your time with conventional doctors, they are not familiar with diagnosing  chronic intracellular bacterial infections such as these

Hey Patricia.
Welcome to the forum.

The short answer is yes, very probable!
You can also ask your doctor to give you a 24-hour Holter ECG.
Tests show that 100% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia have an  irregular heartbeat. That does not mean that all palpitations are associated with arrhythmias.
In your situation, because of your dx with FMS, it is most likely the case.
If you experience shortness of breath, chest pain, unusual sweating, dizziness, or lightheadedness, you should call your Dr. or 911 !
Hope this helps.
Blessings
