Hi I ve been having chest pain on March 17 I went to the ER because I had shortness of breath and chest pain turned out I had pneumonia but I didn t have a cough or any flu like symptoms then I got antibiotics took the pills I was fine they told me to follow up with my doc which I did went in for a physical exam and during that time my antibiotics had finished and I still had chest pain so the doc gave me an Inhailer that actually worked for me back to my blood results they tolde I have H pylori and my ANA blood came back positive can it be because of the infection? I did get antibiotics for the h pylori and they took out more blood too check for lupus what else can cause a positive ANA and last night I felt horrible I had chest pain headache my back was burning i don t know what it can be
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate concern looking to the history given here I could say that because of the autoimmune disorders the ANA test turned positive, the ANA test some time turns positive in certain infective disease and in such condition this need to be correlated with the clinical condition, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
