As I may have mentioned in the past, other than my lung problems, I am also having GI problems (bloating and spasm).

I had a cat scan of my abdomen early this month. The good news is there are no abnormalities in my addomen (thank God). There was something that was captured in the scan. The report says:

"There is a fluid filled mass inseparable from the right epicardial fat pad/right cardiophrenic angle. A pericardial cyst or loculated percardial effusion are the most likey considerations."

My GI doctor said report to be referred to my pulmo doctor.
The pulmo doctor said it should be referred to my cardio.
Now, I am waiting for the feedback from my cardio.

I mentioned this report to my neuro this afternoon, and he said that I should refer it to my rheumatologist because there are pericardial effusions that are caused by connective tissue disease. I will have to fax the report to my rheumy tomorrow.

I know this maybe an unlikely case in this forum but I would be interested if anybody has/had similar condition.

Thank you.
