Hi everybody, I have just joined. Pleased to meet you all.
I will try make this short as possible, but I want you guys to understand.
I have suffered with Bipolar with severe anxiety for several years now, I am on lots of different medication for various things.
I suffer from bad GORD too. I have a testosterone deficiency due to my pituartry gland not working correctly.
I have been newly diagnosed with IBD around 5/6 weeks back after a colonoscopy, the GI took 13 biopsys- all of which were normal.
The GI then placed me on Pentasa granules 2g x 2 daily.
Since then, just a few days ago infact, i have had a write up report from my consultant (who i saw a few days back). She left me on the Pentasa 2g x 2 daily and the enema also (which i havent been using).
Now, I have been suffering some strange chest pains, I have seen my doctor who assured me that it’s Costocondritis, which I do suffer with.
I have had no shortness in breath, no arm ,leg or jaw pain. Normal temperature.. I have had an ECG , Troponin test and an Echocardiogram within the last 2 months - all normal.
Now the thing that worries me so much is , Myocarditis, and I know Pentasa can cause this.... Please can anybody help to put my mind at rest or give me your opinions, I really would appreciate it so much. Thankyou
