[|Human|] I was diagnosed with pneumonia & pleurisy in June of this year... I still have left chest pain and pain in my lower left trapezius is it possible that I have had pericarditis all this time ?Echocardiogram in June was negative but monitor showed skipped beats. The chest pain is flaring up .... Very worrying . I am 51 - female - non- smoker .
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Skipped beats, chest pain are more suggestive of heart diseases. And you are post menopausal woman (51 years), so possibility of heart diseases is more. Possibility of endocarditis is also there. So get done ECG, 2 d echo and stress test for the diagnosis of heart diseases. You may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
