Hello, It seems a long time since I communicated. It is so frustrating in that nothing seems to improve, and still, no one is giving any constructive help which mitigates the pain and discomfort. On the cardiac side, recent ECG's have shown ventricular ectopics within a regular rhythm. They are not "acute", but I have to have a 24hr monitor and see the cardiologist in March. They have no answers as to the cause of the chest pain. One thing I have noticed is that the one thing which relieves the pain is Gaviscon. The pain moves around the chest and often ends up at the abdomen. It nearly always (90% of the time) follows food, especially anything with cereals in it. AH!, said the wise old cardiologist that can't be food intolerance causing that - it just doesn't happen. (His words). There are three things which it points to as far as a mere layman like me, medically speaking, are costochondritis, MVP and/or IBS exacerbated by everything else. There have been a few better moments in a day lately, but when it hits it just drops me to rock bottom again. Yours, Brian
