Fibromyalgia does not directly impact the lungs. However, Fibromyalgia pain affects the entire body including the lungs. A common co-existing condition with Fibromyalgia is Costochondritis, which is an inflammation of the ribs causing chest pain. This pain can make you feel like something is wrong with your lungs, or even like you are having a heart attack. If you have chest pain that comes on suddenly you should get checked out immediately.
