Chest/sternum Pain

Hi all,

 

I am a few days away from finishing my 6-month course on claravis (60 mg/day). In the last 2-3 weeks I have had some pain/soreness in my sternum area, particularly when: sneezing, bending over/bending backwards, coughing, or doing exercises like push-ups.

 

I am just wondering if this a potentially serious issue, and if so what I can do about it (no point in stopping the pills, as I only have 3 days left anyway). I have started to take fish oil tablets daily as I hear this helps. Is this problem likely to go away once i stop taking the pills? I have had all clean test results so I'm wondering what the cause could be.

 

Thanks!

It may or may not go away after your course no one can really say. Did you do a strenous exercising???? It does mention in list of side effects here in the U.S. that it can cause chest pain, something like that. Hard to say, except if doesn't get better consult your physican!
