Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hello, in May 2009 my daughter then aged 21 started experiencing sever pain to her chest in the area where the ribs join the sternum. The incident occurred whilst lifting heavy weights at work and took the form of a very sharp and significant pain to the point where it was thought she was experiencing a heart attack. It was subsequently diagnosed as Costa Condylitis. Since that time she has remained in pain in the chest area and has now been further diagnosed as having Fybro Myalgia to the joints. We have seen 2 separate consultants at our local hospital, she has undertaken Cat scans, MRI scans, 2 hydro cortisone injections and had loads of different tablets to try and relieve the pain. Just recently we attended the National Hospital for Arthriic dieases in Bath but unforunately after 3 days they decided they could not help her and sent her home. She has not been able to work since May 09 and I wonder if you give any suggestions to help?

Hello,
You should see a rheumatologist as he is better qualified for such things. Ask your daughter to practice deep breathing exercises and meditation to relieve stress.
