I am a 52 year old mother of 3. I went in the hospital in early April. I had pain in the chest the night before and my face looked like I had a rash .They admitted me after a blood test that showed the enzyme troponine leavel showed 0.497 which is gray sone for heart attack My ECG showed normal.In the morning everything was normal,even a treadmill test was ok. was released and told to come back at the first sign of pain. I felt like I was taking a flu and I am never sick.

One month later I returned again with dull chest pain Was rushed for ECG everything was normal but blood test showed the troponine level was 1.912 .They treated me for heart attack I was attached to all kinds fo machinery to monitor what was happening.I was shipped to a heart institute,Had test done , this ruled out heart attach.

Then they gave me a ultrasound to check for inflammation around the heart,none was found.Everything looked normal.So they put me on 650mg of asprin as a treatment against inflammation . All my other symptoms were the same as pericarditis . I still have the same symptoms I am now on 600mg of Nexum for a month.It is now november.
