Mon/Tue/Wed I have felt better,making some diet changes and I do believe the Remicade is starting to work.
I woke up this morning so fatigued and now I have a strange feeling in my sternum,it’s like a heavy feeling,maybe alittle pressure. It’s not really painful just uncomfortable,any ideas of what it might be.
Actually it is becoming painfully,I just turned and it hurts
Hi, someone posted a discussion about costochondritis that sounds similar to your symptoms. You may want to read that discussion.
Any pain in the chest area should be checked out. My husband's cardiologist has told him that pressure is the same as pain.
Please make sure to have this looked into.
Healing thoughts...
I got checked out,good news heart was great bad news is it is costochondritis,back on steroids & resting.
That is definitely a good news, bad news type situation. But it is good that you went and got checked out, and now you just need to give yourself time for the inflammation to go down.
Lindseylou just wanted to check in with you and see how you are feeling. Hope you are starting to feel bettter. Glad your heart was ok, but costochondritis can be very painful. Besst wishes.
Thankyou for asking,I’m still in pain and still have that pressure feeling. When I called my family DR she just gave me hydrocodon & anti sickness pills. My thought is wouldn’t an anti inflammatory med be more appropriate. I have a Remicade infusion next week but I don’t see the rheumi for 5 weeks but I may stop by and see what she thinks.
