Hi all,
I recently had some serious chest pain bouts...NOT what I know as the "anaconda wrapping around my chest" rib pain that I have had in the past, but actual chest pain under the sternum. It felt deep and knifelike. It lasted a few hours and an arm went limp.
I did go to the ER because I thought it was heart. Everything in the ER was normal with my heart. And I wonder, what effects does AS have on the heart? I wonder if it was pericarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle. Normal anti-inflammatory meds 600 mg Ibuprofen calmed the chest pain down.
Anyone have anything to add about a similiar experience?
Jennifer
