Chest pain

I really do not know what to think or feel anymore. I become hopeful when I feel a bit better but then lose hope once I feel pain. 

If you have read any of my posts,you probably saw that I am scared of being diagnosed with Lupus but I am still waiting for some tests.

I do have symptoms that could fall under lupus:chest pain,  hair loss.

Main tests: ANA weak positive (repeated and waiting for results), ENA-6 negative, SLE test negative but higher lupus anticoagulant bodies, and positive  beta-2 glycoprotein that is associated with APS. 

My biggest concern is this throbbing chest pain. It can last for days, then disappear and come back. Back in February some dr. who did not carefully examine me said it could be just skeletal pain. I noticed that my chest hurts more after i speak more, get tired or get upset. It is like something is ripping me from the inside. Even climbing up stairs sometimes can be difficult and I experience shortness of breath. I used to exercise so much before that this was never a problem and i am not overweight. I have not been able to exercise since April so I walk.  I will try to find my immunology doctor to see what to do. I was retested for these APS tests but it took 2 months last time to get the test results and i am worried it will take that long again. i might have to go to a private lab again to get tested but i am not sure if the hospital will accept that. 

As of now, I know I have celiac and 99% sure I have APS/Hughes syndrome (based on one doctor telling me that lupus anticoagulant test also confirms aps when i already have tested positive for beta-2 glycoprotein ) so I do not know if this is causing my chest pain?

Any ideas about chest pain? Has anyone experience anything like this? I am very careful about eating gluten free so I doubt it is cross-contamination or celiac related.

Thank you.

      Could my infant son have been glutened? Hear me out.

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with a genetic base. The the potential for developing the disease is inherited. but remains latent until triggered by some stress event. Thus, there is an epigenetic component to celiac disease. Once the genes are awakened from dormancy, celiac reactions are triggered by the ingestion of gluten.

      Newbie possible glutening help

      By Beeroney · Posted

      Hi all, just ticked over into my first year gluten-free after being diagnosed last October and feeling a bit rough after a possible glutening. Diagnosed at the ripe age of 38, never been ill in my life before this so safe to say my health anxiety is now borderline unmanageable. I think I may have been glutened a week ago, since then I’ve had that familiar hot/burning feeling in my gut, gas, bloating and all the Bristol Stool chart types in one sitting. I know people are different but does this sound familiar to anyone? Stomach was churning like mad last weekend like it did when I first ill before diagnosis. Acid reflux(which was my first symptom way back when) also reared its ugly head, which I probably the worst symptoms imo. Anxiety is probably up more so as I’m leaving on holiday to USA in 3 weeks time, which would be pretty much ruined if my guts are still messed by the time we leave.  Any words of wisdom appreciated    Bryan

      This doesn't answer your question but I'm not sure if you know that this intolerance is passed down from mother to child through Cord blood and or breast milk.

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄
