hello all,

I have been diagnosed with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and had a brain stroke in juky 2017. Sinve then i am taking warfarin and azathioprine( immunosuppresent). Although i did not encounter any clot during this time, my doctor replaced azathioprone with HCQ 3 weeks ago. After changing drug i am experiencing heart line pain since last week which last for around one minute. Kindly someone advise if anyone has changed azathioprine with HCQ in APS medication?
