Guest guest Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 >>> Has anyone experienced sharp pain close to the heart when you breathe or move a certain way?<<< For what it's worth in anecdotal help... this sounds very much like my experiences with pleurisy. Having suffered the extreme pain of this inflammation twice in my life, I am now subject to having similar pains at odds times. Not frequently, and so far never for any long duration (knock on wood)... but worrisome in case the pain turns out to truly be another case of pleurisy... which is both nearly debilitating, and lasts until the infection is healed...usually with anti-biotics. Which requires a visit to a physician and an attempt to convince them I know what I'm talking about. I have found that doctors are rarely interested in their patients' opinions of their own personal condition. My 50+ years of experience with my own body means little or nothing to them, when matched against the 3-to-9 letters/acronyms which follow their title and name... ....ambrose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
