Cardiophobia- Worst ever
Jul 30, 2008 05:40PM in the Anxiety Community
I suffer from not only severe cardiophobia myself, but also I also have what I call "projected cardiophobia". My cardiophobia started after I had a bout with the flu and was put on antibiotics. Right before I got sick I had done some spring cleaning that strained the muscles and tendons in my chest, giving me costochondritis. The antibiotics made me so we...
What is going on?

I read somewhere- Mayo Clinic website, I think... that if you have gas in your system it can actually get trapped in a region of your body such as a shoulder joint, and cause a sharp, lingering pain. This is similar to what is known as "the bends", I believe. I have had the same symptoms as you have, and have been checked from head to foot for heart tr...

FM & Motion Sickness
Jun 10, 2008 01:25PM in the Fibromyalgia / CFS Community
Oh, I have FM, and I have terrible motion sickness. My motion sickness takes the form of dizzyness and weakness more than nausea. But it is definitely a type of vertigo. I get sick if I drive for too long, or ride in a bus, etc. And sometimes I'll have the same smyptoms if I get up and move around after sitting or having been still for a long period. A ...
Burning in Chest & Fibro
Jun 10, 2008 11:36AM in the Fibromyalgia / CFS Community
Pricarditis is commonly diagnosed for CFS sufferers who have chronic chest pain. Cardio myopathy is another misdiagnosis that is given to a lot of CFS patients with chest pains. Chostocondritis is very likely to be your problem. I've been dealing with CFS for over a year now and I have almost constant chostocondritis. Which is almost as hard to spell as it...
