Hi I'm natalie I have RA for the last 5 yrs. Lately when I have a fkare up in my shoulders the pain enters my chest leaving bad pain shortness of breath and palpitations. I have been in hospital the 1st time it happened, which they ruled out anything major (heart, blood clots etc) just wondering if anyone had anything similar. Its really getting me down.

Hi Natalie, I also get pain in my shoulders and sometimes I feel the pain is going through my back into my chest. A while back I was getting quite bad palpitations and it was quite scary but after I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and put on tablets it seemed to stop, i still sometimes get it but not the way it used to be. It might be worth asking the doctor to check your thyroid. If you are on methotrexate then it's possible it could be causing the breathlessness. It may be that you need a review of your medication if you are having a lot of shoulder pain.
