Im so tired of having to go to the ER. But this time i was having severe chest pains that would radiate thru my back and it hurt to even breathe. As soon as i got there they did an EKG drew blood and chest xray. I was then taken straight to a room. After the dr came in to examine me he ordered a chest ct. He said my symptoms could be a pulmonary embolism. Thank God it wasnt that. Also heart was normal too. Turns out i have pleuryism. And you ask...whats that? Well its inflammation of the lining that surrounds the lung. Its very painful to even breathe. If left untreated it could cause the lung to collapse. So the dr put me on prednisone zofran tremadol and clyndamicin. Oh and bed rest. I asked what can cause pleuryism. He said it could be due to a viral/bacterial lung infection. However my lungs have been clear. Not even a cold. So he then said its probably due to not being treated for my crohns. And that was due to my @$$ of a gi dr that took me off all meds cause he decided i didnt ha crohns. The worse part of having pleuryism is it can take up to 6 weeks to heal up.
