Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I know that when I have Pleurisy episodes they feel like that. Could that be a reason for the chest pain that you're all having? I don't know. Just curious. Annie > > Hi , Shandi, and Dennis, > > I thought I was alone in the pain in the chest thing. My Rheumy wanted me to have all the heart tests done back in February when I had it bad. Of course, everything came back normal. I had a chest x-ray done where it showed I had nodules on my chest. What do you do about this pain. I have it constantly in various levels of pain. Somedays are not so bad and others it's all I think about. I sometimes take Advil for the pain, but I don't want to take too much stuff and get immune to pain meds. I see my Rheumy in September. > > Thanks for listening, > Meredith in Canada > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm beginning to think there's some confusion happening here. A-Fib is not painful. In fact, you almost cannot tell it's happening without an EKG machine and know how to read the charts. Very few of us are able to distinguish the nearly non-existent symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation, so if you are experiencing pain, it's something else. The 'pain in the chest' that I've experienced in the past has been in the sternum where the ribs connect. That was when the RA was very aggressive and was attacking everything it could find. I have had assorted 'owies' that had no real basis or reason and never repeated. Whatever you are experiencing could be anything, so have a professional look into it, please.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 It's a relief to know it's somewhat " normal " . The er doctor didn't go into any detail and I haven't seen my gp yet, afraid it was gonna be another ordeal! The pain meds I take for everything else seems to help, so I'll stick with that! Thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
