@A MyFibroTeam Member. i am glad you went to get checked. I know it is frusterating but safer to be sure. Now you know it is probably chondritis.

Hugs

It very well could be condritis but since yiu are short of breath please get checked out. It is better to go than end up having a heart issue. Please keep us informed.

God bless you. Shortness of breath is a serious symptom. Get checked out to be safe.
