Has anyone experienced this on abx's, I have Lyme and babesia, and have read that the lyme can move around when under fire? Never had this ot the fast beats.

Oh yes! What did you mean by your second sentence? Are you having fast beats?

You need to watch yourself in case it's your heart. Also research chostrocondritis. See if that sounds like what you're experiencing.

You should call your doctor just in case.

I get this every once in a while, lung issues caused by one of the bugs...don't know which.

Does it hurt when you take a breath? I've had pluricy before and it wraps around the upper trunk.

Yup, I had that. Just neurological for me, though.
Still, it's advised to have this specifically "located" & checked out, in case it's heart-related. Lyme-induced inflammation around the heart can be serious!
At the very least have an EKG done. An ultrasound for a better look-see.

It was one of my very first symptoms and one of the more scary symptoms. However, mine occurred when I was not on abx. Fortunately, echo tests were OK and it eventually disappeared over the course of a few weeks. I have had two such incidents like that in the past couple of years but none lately (knock on wood).
