Hi Steff, yes I got chest pain (costochondritis) that was the start of the journey towards being diagnosed with Fibro, and it felt like a viral infection that I just couldn't shake off, I was sent for chest xray,blood tests etc etc, if I do too much now I get the sore throat and chest pain back I find codeine is the only thing that helps. Xx

Hi Steff40

I am so sorry to read that you are feeling under the weather at this time, and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue.

Many viruses can cause you to feel this way. However, if your symptoms persist for a prolonged period or start to get worse you should really return to your GP and discuss the matter to have anything else rules out and put your mind at ease.

I want to wish you the best of luck with your recovery and hope that you feel better soon.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Have had all bloods and ECG done and thankfully all ok . The pain felt like when I had pleurisy and was convinced it was that and when I went doctors they are like chest clear and no temperature etc probably pulled muscle made me feel like a pain !! Thanks for you kind words Steph

That really does sound like a nasty virus. Hope it clears up soon.

Take care
