I've been having issues with heart palpitations for the last few years and I've recently discovered the reason for this. I believe I have AS (or just spondylitis), I have pain in joints of my spine, pelvis and shoulders. I found out that spondylitis can affect the heart and this is part of the reason I so desperately want to get off Suboxone. I feel like Suboxone is just adding to the problems.. My body doesn't need this in it anymore, I feel like it's suppressing my system. I'm pretty young, I'm 32, and I was put on this drug at 21. I have suspicions that being on this drug this long is what put my body in the state to cultivate this arthritic disease. Again, I'm not officially diagnosed, but It's really the only thing that makes sense. I would love to talk to someone who might know about this. Just for clarity, I did just have an echocardiogram and they said everything looked good.
