Cindy, Thank you so much for your reply. I went to great Cardiologist, just got blown off though. The first one I saw was also not helpful at all. I work as an x-ray tech in an Orthopedic Surgeons...
Curious if you have had any tests that have proven you do have Pericarditis? The only reason I ask is because I am trying to still figure out if I have it and no tests I took showed anything but I...
Hi PenguinLuv, I wondered if you can tell me more about your Pericarditis. I have been having issues for almost a full year after an upper respiratory type infection where I exercised way too...
7 months ago I had a viral respiratory infection of some sort, taught multiple classes at the gym (high-intensity- during this illness) I taught a class on day 2 and felt really bad afterwards and on...
wow, askew!! it's good that you kept pushing for answers... I just think I have Pericarditis still.. getting an MRI of my heart tomorrow .....
My stress test was really good, so that pretty much has ruled out everything and it has to be Pericarditis. Based on how I am feeling now, I feel very sure it is. I am getting an MRI of my heart next...
I saw the Physician assistant to the Cardiologist yesterday and I will do a stress echo test on Monday since I have basically done most other tests already. Hopefully that will shed some light on...
Praying for you Kitt! Amber...
it's not anxiety-related at this point although I have definitely had some and some of my earlier symptoms were related to that. I am seeing Cardiologist tomorrow but they haven't been helpful so...
kamikazee, sorry I hadn't been on the site for a few weeks now . I will check in and definitely will post my whole story if I do indeed finally get a diagnosis to help others with their issues...=)...
UPDATE AT THIS POINT--- I had my stomach scoped last week and few little biopsies from the esophagus. everything was normal and unremarkable as I expected it to be. I have started exercising again...
now I am back on for GI dr next week on friday.... my friend's dad is ER physician and says it has to be my heart, espophagus with my symptoms as the most likely culprit.. unless I have some weird...
thanks for your reply Kitt, I actually didn't go the the GI dr. I really don't think that is what my issue is at all so I decided to cancel it for now...my pain/pressure is under my sternum or at the...
oh, and ALL of my bloodwork all 8 different tests were totally normal!! and still having heart palps in addition to the pressure and lying down issue....
No I have not Jdiane. Unless things wrong with it would show on the bloodwork I had last week. I don't know how you test for it. I have not even considered that too much as an option, but I am...
today I had 8 panels of blood drawn checking thyroid, cbc, sed rate, ck, metabolic panel, tsh, crp... I had one of the Drs. i work with order the labs so I will know soon if it shows anything....
My question was actually meant for people who have had if before and how they felt with it. I've been to the Dr many times already. Why I am here now. They haven't helped me....
Since it seems a lot of ppl on this forum get costrochondritis... I am wondering if anyone has symptoms like my mystery issue... sitting down and get a squeezing feeling right in center of chest when...
definitely get it check out, once I had some low back kidney pain.. had no idea what was going on...I kept plugging along and ignoring my symptoms and within 5 days I was in ER with 104 fever I had...
If I can go back to teaching my Zumba classes...I won't have anxiety ! =)...
well interestingly enough, my GP mentioned a beta blocker and the cardiologist basically said unless my BP was staying in the 160 range he wouldn't put me on meds at my age.. but I also said i had...
thanks Kitt, I did read her post last night as well as some other ones I find just searching on the interent...i know mine didn't start until I had been on it over a month.. who knows I have def been...
laying down is the worst thing but I have a general feeling of weirdness all the time.. my body just doesn't fell healthy and normal only in the center of my chest though..the rest of me feels...
heart palps and omeprazole?? I was on it for about 2 months and my palps started after 5 weeks or so when I was off work on a stay-at-home vacation.... Don't know if it was related...but I thought it...
Saw a 2nd Cardiologist who is supposed to be very good. He basically said my heart is really clear and if it had inflammation there might be more muffled sounds. Since my Ct chest and echo did not...
Thanks for your reply Kitt. I am an x-ray technician, so I do not have your depth of knowledge. I will definitely be asking for action to be taken when I go to Dr. on Wednesday with a new ECG since I...
healthcare workers do not make good patients btw. lol. I haven't had any problems from taking the colochine, but I am only taking it once a day. I think ibuprofen makes me more constipated and...
Hi Kitt, I am well read on pericarditis at this point, but I will look at the link. lol. The cardiologist didn't have a good bedside manner and I am actually the one who requested the colchicine. I...
Well, I have not been exercising at all save a few walks around the park and have read a lot of that not being a good thing. I don't think my body will allow it anyways, my heart feels like its gets...
Well my regular Dr. passed me to a Pulmonologist who I just saw again today for 2nd time and he concluded after my pulmonary function test that my lungs are really good and that I might need a holter...
I guess what I would really like to know is there any other thing i should ask Dr. for if all my tests are negative so far but I still continue to have chest symptoms and can't sleep lying flat and...
Hi everyone. I will condense this as best I can. 39 years old, had a low fever and upper respiratory symptoms on March 29 of this year. The two days before and after the fever I taught cardio classes...
