I had to call 111 at 12:30 this morning, I've got a stabbing pain from my left hand side jaw all the way to my shoulder.

It was so painful I was in tears I couldn't sleep. 111 said they'll get someone to call me back, well around 6:30 (about 10 minutes after I'd finally fallen asleep) they called as I was so tired I slept through both calls that were made.

I'm taking paracetamol and Ibuprofen (not together obviously) as well as a hot water bottle and it's not working. The pain is now down to my wrist on my left arms and elbow on my right side

I called my GP, luckily they had a telephone appointment within the next half hour.

10 minutes later a doctor called me, I talked through my pain and she said to hang up and call 999, I did that and an ambulance came out as suspected HA,

I'm currently on my way to hospital, the ECG the paramedics did were not abnormal just not normal so wanted me to get checked out at hospital, and my BP is still high.

oh that's so strange? Can't be an electrical issue? Can high blood pressure cause these symptoms x I still think they should do a 24 hour blood pressure monitor X

ahh V, I’m gutted for you but I’m relieved that you are safe. I hope the pain subsides quickly and they have answers for you. Keeping everything crossed that you are ok (although I’m sure that you will be). Let us know how you get on. Xxx

Hi V,

What a time you're having... you're right to get checked out. This is just a thought, but is there a chance the myocarditis has flared up?

Sending hugs, and I hope you feel better soon. X

Hi V, gosh what a roller coaster you are on. I do hope the checks turn out okay. I know it is easy to say but please try and stay calm and do some breathing exercises. I am sure you must be worrying and be very anxious. Sending you love and huge hugs 🤗🤗🤗
