COSTOCHONDRITIS
Have any of you Fibro Warriors been diagnosed with Costochritis? It causes severe pains in the chest. Can make one think they r having a heart attack when severe.
I have been having chest pains. I was told it was probably due to my Fibro. They did send me for an endoscopy. I was told I have Esophagitis. Thank you for that information. I am going to ask my doctor about it. I did think I was having a heart attack. Gentle hugs and prayers.
Thank you I feel so much better least its not my heart... still sucks that fibromyalgia is becoming a dumping ground for lazy doctors or ego driven Drs who just cant say idk... if we fart its never the beans we are its always fibro lol
I use to get it all the time before officially diagnosed with Fibro. And it is extremely painful, but it cannot be self diagnosed. If you have any chest pain you should be evaluated by a physician. HUGS💜
Yes, I have. Costochondritis will definitely have you believing that you are about to see your maker, I hate it.
I am in the midst of being diagnosed with it. Did the EKG, etc, etc. Right now it feels like sharp nerve pains on the right and left front rib cage and back. It hurts. I was put on steroids for a week. Hated the way those made me feel, but got through it. I can't take nerve pain medications so now I'm supposed to increase Cymbalta 30 mg. to see if it helps. The pains left for five days!! I was so happy, but then it came back last night. I didn't want to increase generic Cymbalta, but I'll try it. I've tried Aleve and it doesn't help me. That name was brought up to me. Not officially diagnosed yet.
Does Anyone Else Have Pain In There Chest/stomach??
