Just started humira in February, was on imuran but new doctor thought since I'm a 25 year old female humira would be better since I'm at the age to have kids? Since about June I've had on and off shortness of breath that's getting worse. In the last two months I've went to the ER, pulmonolgist, rheumatologist, and cardiologist. All X-rays and blood work came back fine except my DS DNA lab was slightly elevated, and my chest CT showed a small pericardial effusion (probably what's causing this SOB).
Pretty frustrated. No one can tell me what's causing it or what to do. My GI doesn't want to stop humira since I'm in remission but part of me wants to since it's the only thing I changed in my life recently and idk what else could be causing this. The cardiologist put me on atenolol to help decrease the work load of my heart. Which is helping but I am so tired of taking ANOTHER MED just to take the humira. Any help would be appreciated!
