i made a post last week regarding my raised crp
my doc then re ordered that and esr and rhumatoid factor and ana
my crp came back at 21 was previously 23 my esr was raised but not sure on how raised and my rhumatoid factor was 44 meant to be 20 .
but my ana came back neg?! i been referred to rhumy but i dont think i have athritis
i thought itd be a good idea to research and came across endocarditis all three would be raised! im now TERRIFIED i had breathlessness for few days prior to finding this out a cough i have had joint pain in fingers and hands but only for few weeks
i read a story about a man who died after docs failed to diagnose endocarditis but had reffered him to rhumatology
i tried speaking to my doc today and they just said last time they saw me i didnt have a new murmur so it wasnt that ?! i cant let this go i also had dental surgery 2 weeks ago
plz help

Do you have a heart murmur?
Do you have a defective mitral valve?
This is why you could get endocarditis
You can also get it on a different valve if you have ever been an IV drug user.
