What could be causing my 75-year-old mother's shifting chest pain and headaches, given that her heart tests are normal, but a blood test shows a very high level of inflammation (ESR of 110), and her medications?including Stablon, Caldikind Plus, and Bon DK 60000?have not helped?
I understand how worrying it is to see your mother in pain. With normal heart tests, her very high ESR of 110, headaches, and shifting pain suggest a systemic inflammatory condition, such as Polymyalgia Rheumatica or Giant Cell Arteritis. Her current medications, including Stablon, Caldikind Plus, and Bon DK 60000, are not designed to treat this specific type of inflammation. I gently recommend consulting her doctor or a rheumatologist promptly. They can perform targeted evaluations and start appropriate treatment, which often brings quick relief. Please be reassured that her normal heart tests are excellent news, and we will get her feeling better soon.
