What Causes Recurrent Chest Pain And Itchy Rash All Over The Body?
Just had a second episode of quite severe chest pain in four days. After a few minutes my husband gave me an aspirin, I Chewed it and the pain subsided. I was put on a prednisone because of a major itchy rash I developed all over my body. I do have COPD and take Spireva and Arcapta each day. Am I having a heart problem?
Understanding your concern. As per your query your wife have recurrent chest pain and itchy rash all over the body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acid reflux , chest infection , injury in thoracic cage or acid reflux .There can also be other reasons like allegic reaction like asthma . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay for proper diagnosis rule out causes like angina and other heart related problem first , muscle spasm and nerve dysfunction . Doctor may order certain test like ECG and examine with stethoscope . Doctor may prescribe treatment for restoring your ventricular rate. Beta blockers, like Atenolol, Carvedilol, Propranolol, and others can slow the heart rate. Calcium channel blockers, such as Dilitiazem and Verapamil, are another class of drug used to slow the beating of the ventricles . Doctor may refer you to allergy specialist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
