Hi all,

at the moment the pain in i little to the left of my sternum and in my back shoulder blade..

the pain in my sternam is making me have anxiety and i feek thinking its my heart as i suffer from ectopic beats and palpitations aslo sad

Im on diclophenac and cocodamon 30/500 but that doesnt help the pain.

    You need to stop these drugs they aare proobably making everything worse. Co codamol causes irregular heart beat, dizziness plus lots of nasty side effects.

    Diclofenic can cause gastric problems .

    Hi, It is such a horrible thing to have isnt it but i think Jean is right..Drugs arent always the best ... i control mine by relaxing as much as i can and not over doing things .

    I am not having a good spell just now, ive gone months with no symptoms and bang.. back they come again.. i had a particulary bad attack last week which left me absolutely shattered but i take things easy and it has passed .. Hope you feel better soon..
