Fibromyalgia Patient is Injured by Pain Medication Complications

Case Overview

This case involves a patient in his late 30s who was undergoing treatment for fibromyalgia. He was prescribed multiple pain medications throughout the course of his treatment. One of the medications prescribed was a high dosage of Fentanyl. The patient started to complain of symptoms, including headaches and nausea, but was not further evaluated until the symptoms progressed. He was eventually diagnosed with heart damage due to the large amount of Fentanyl that he was given in a single dose.
