I had a heart attack in March 2003 due to the Vioxx medication which I was taking for my arthritis. So, I do suffer from heart disease since then. My medications are Plavix, Isosorbide Mono, Simvastatin, Diclofenac, Navane, 81mg. aspirin.

I have just completed treatment for bursitis of my Left Hip and I received a cordisone shot about 2 weeks ago. This did not work so my doctor put me on steroids which I completed taking earlier this week. I don't know if this is related but thought I should share this with you.

To be on safer side see a doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thanks for details.
I have gone through them.
To be on safer side , I will suggest you to see a doctor to rule out any possibility of heart involvement by investigating you.
Till then I will advice you not exert more.
Keep doing deep breathing exercise, at a slow rate.
You can take soluble aspirin in case your pain increases,apart from the aspirin you are taking.
Good luck.
