Pre-Diagnosis, Signs & Symptoms So here’s my worry

So here’s my worry

Offline worrywart_ over 3 years ago

Started 3 years ago,itchy and hot all the time.Thought it was menopause,although I've not had a period since I was 40,I'm now 53.

At the same time I had what looked like a roll of fat on my left rib,but never thought much of it.

A few anti histamine and fast forward to now and I have both elbows showing quite large swellings in the creases.

the left rib area is now twinging and feels heavy

Had trouble breathing over the weekend .went to hospital who did heart and lung checks and said they were great but no X-ray .

will go to doctors tomorrow hopefully ,

feeling anxious

I'm sorry to hear you had troubling breathing over the weekend Worrywart but I'm glad to see that the checks you had done at the hospital showed you were o.k.
I know this must still be a worry though so it's good you're going to see your doctor and I hope their investigations will be able to put your mind at ease.
Fingers crossed the symptoms you've been experiencing will turn out to be no cause for concern.
Kind regards,
