Michelle,get yourself to the drs and find out what it is. You could have a chest infection. sylvi.xx
Hi Michelle as sylvi says you should go to your drs as it may be a chest infection and as well as causing its own problems can cause you to flare. If you have an infection your immune system responds and that can cause a flare of the RA.
Take care

I agress make a emergency appointment, Also make sure you mention that you have RA,
Take care Michelle.

could be chest infection, or could be costochondritis (inflammaton of the cartilage between the ribs). Definitely good to check with your doctor.
Hi Chemar, you are entitled to see a doctor same day if you need to. Don't be fobbed off by reception team. If they are reluctant to book you in ask for a telephone consult with the duty doctor and then he/she will decide if they need to see you. Good luck x
hi guys feel a lot better today i was quite sick yesterday and spent most of the day in bed. have woke up today feeling much better just very tired ( nothing unusual there then). half of my familly have been wiped out be this sicky bug so im just putting it down to that. thanks for all ur advice it makes a difference having this site to ask questions sometimes when i think its all in my head. michelle
Hi Chemar
I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, but as the others have suggested it's probably worth getting things checked over with your GP or giving your rheumatology nurse a ring.
Kind regards
