Chemical Imbalances
Several studies have shown that people with fibromyalgia tend to have unhealthy levels of hormones like dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin in their brain.
These abnormally low levels of the hormones as mentioned above may play a crucial role in the development of fibromyalgia. Hormones like serotonin and many more are vital for regulating a lot of body activities such as behavior, appetite, mood, and response to stress-causing situations.
That’s not all; these hormone also are playing an important role in handling the pain signals coming from the nerves. An increase in these hormones levels and also medication can lead to the disruption of these signals.
Also, some researchers suggest that changes in some other hormones levels, for example, cortisol (a hormone associated with stress), may contribute to the development of Fibromyalgia. [2]
