Same as MassCoyote. A little of this and that is it so far and yes because of RA, inflammation around heart and lungs. I also have found out a few nodules are now on my right lung. Those do not only geton your joints they get on our insides also :/ They have to be watched due to possibility of cancer and size.

I have had reactions from biologics that mimic heart attacks and problems with the heart but as soon as that medication was stopped suddenly I had a perfect heart again. I was lucky it didn't do any long term damage.

@A myRAteam Member - No, but I believe it is possible. I suffered from CHF but that was as a result of the medication I was taking and one of it's worst possible side effects which is why I can no longer take any mediccation which are Biologics.
