Sorry to hear this but you will be better of posting this on the BLF instead.
How do I get on to the BLF site please?
You have been on before so just click on your avatar and go to profile. You will see your previous posts there to them so just click on them.
Or just look under other communities and type in the name. It will come up then. I will give you the link though.
Thanks very much for your help. I think I may have done it right.
Hi hallentine47, I'm not sure if this post was intended for Positive Wellbeing, but even if not, just as a reminder that for any new pain or discomfort with any condition, please check not only with fellow group members, but with a medically qualified person too, for preference your GP. Others may have had something similar, but how can you be sure that the cause is the same. It's important to get qualified advice and/or a consultation and treatment if necessary. I hope that you feel better very soon!

Thank you. Last week I was examined by one Doctor and tele consulted by another Doctor and tele consulted by a third Doctor all in the same week. The Pharmacist also spoke to me length and I had 2 Nurses call in to see me all in the same week. Oh yes I have consulted the medics but no one had a definitive answer. I have had some of these pains since Xmas and have been sent for Gall Bladder scans and all sorts of things. Then I got an infection. Some times us non medics have an answer!! So I thought I would post it and see what happens.Often with Doctors I end up on masses of Steroids and Antibiotics and simply end up feeling worse.
Hi, yes I do and also under my breast bone on the right hand side, my respiratory consultant asked for a bone density scan and chest scan to be conducted but I have not had them yet due to Covid restrictions. My. chest infections used to be regular as I have Bronchiectasis but as i have not been near anyone in shielding i have been a lot better.
Thank you it helps to now others are having similar experiences. I have countless infections but this is the first time with chest pains and yes I have had the heart attacks so I know that is not it.
