Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to arthritis or a connective tissue disorder. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:

- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- RF plasma levels
- ANA and ANCA antibody titer
- calcium and vitamin D plasma levels.

Consulting with a Rheumatologist may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
