Guest guest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I am so sorry that you're going through so much right now. The thing that worries me is that you mention your painful breathing, and shortness of breath. It could be, as, has been mentioned by other members, Pericarditis, and you shouldn't ignore those symptoms. If it's bad, get to your doctor or ER. I hope that things get better for you. Keep your journal up to date, and write everything you're experiencing in it!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 hi cat after a little scary moment in my water therapy class my ra finally sent me to a cardiologist. My blood pressure is acting up too, ive been having 150s/80s for the last few weeks. while i was in my water therapy class (after 10 mins of moving around) i started having chest pains and my blood pressure dropped below 100, the therapist said it wasn't safe to keep me in the pool, and called the ra doc to tell him of what happened, and basically i could not come back if they didn't write me a lil note saying that im okey. so he finally listened and send for an ekg, but it didn't show up anything. ive been having this unexplainable post nasal drip/ mucus in my throat for months, i thought it was from milk and eggs this whole time but it seems lately after anything i eat it gets worse. luckily my sharp chest pains went away, only the feeling of something heavy sitting on top of my chest is left, but im hoping thats going to go away soon too. -ewelina > > I am so sorry that you're going through so much right now.
