I know it's serious when we get an infection, can get into lungs, heart lining, etc.
Kathy, what symptoms do you have? I'll ask my friend in Oregon that does MRI's and Cat scans and see what test is appropriate.
Take care, I'll get back with you in a couple days. your friend, loretta

So nice to hear from you and I appreciate your note!! Recently I had the 5 hr. stress test which revealed normal muscle and blood flow in my heart..but symptoms remain..and this past Saturday..was horrible..heavy, achy feeling..and sometimes sharp chest pain..lasts for hours! Yes, sensitive to touch my chest..whole area.. takes out what wind I left in my sails!I so appreciate you asking for information on my behalf, Loretta... I have a cardiologist..which iam tempted to call back if it happens to that degree again..Next they say is to look at the electrical part of my heart but more invasive tests for that.. he thought possible RSD in chest wall..I wonder if there is a test to reveal this or is it process of elimination again??
Love to you..Kathy
