Fluid around the Heart

[Soupy56]

I have just found out after 3 months of chest pain, trouble swallowing food, losing 2 stone in weight, that I have a Hiatus Hernia and fluid around my heart. Is this yet another system of Fibromyalgia?

Hi there, sorry to hear you have these health issues. The answer to your question is no xx

Thanks, I hope you’re right. Fibro seems to be the gift that keeps on giving!

Hi there, sorry to hear of your new diagnoses of Hiatus Hernia and fluid around your heart.

Both of these conditions are not related to Fibromyalgia. They are separate conditions in their own right.

As a rule of thumb, if you have any any new symptoms, you should check in with your GP as not everything is Fibromyalgia related.

Check either with fmauk.org. or the NHS website for symptoms of Fibromyalgia.

GP. 😊😊

Hi there even though im not medically qualified. I think you will find in this particular instance I am right. Has Greenpeace rightly said the are two completely different health issuies.
