I've been getting pain in and around my chest. It's been happening for a while, but hasn't been to noticeable until recently. I am overweight but I'm doing something about it. But recently when I get the pain it is getting more noticeable and I do get breathless. Not due to see My rhumy till end of next month. Anybody else had similar problem. Thanks

I'd see someone faster about chest pains. It might not be rheumy-related, and, in general, much better not to wait for something like that. Hope this helps

Hi tea party

Worsening chest pain with breathlessness needs checking pronto!. A&E if necessary. I had this for a long time before doctors acknowledged it was inflammation of heart and lung lining and it was successfully treated after loads of tests!. There are a myriad of possibilities for these symptoms but anything that worsens needs checking especially chest!. Good luck. X

I get this sometimes and for me it's pleurisy. I would get it checked, even for piece of mind. Even though I know what it is now, it's very unsettling. However, for me it's harmless. Yea!

I get pleurisy and also the joints in my chest (where the ribs meet the breast bone) become inflamed. If I get it bad they usually up my steroids, but as others have said a trip to your GP or A&E is a good idea incase it's something different. My other half had a 'heart episode' and didn't go to hospital straight away, he went 4 days later and it turned out he'd had a heart attack. He then ended up having a stroke a week later and spent 4 weeks in hospital learning to walk and feed himself again. (Not trying to frighten you, but please get it checked out just incase, realy not worth leaving it.

I hope all goes well.

All I get of my doctors is its viral let your immune system sort it. This has happened the last couple of times. So I just wonder why I bother 😯. Thank you
