A member asked:
I feel palpitation and febrile sense(not fever) often. i got tests and result is higher rheumatic factor in blood. i'm 26. what could suspect for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rheumatoid Factor: You may have rheumatoid arthritis. Have you had any other testing done? Is your white count elevated or have you had a recent infection? You may also have rheumatic fever. Either way you need to follow up with your doctor to check your heart. Have you had an echocardiogram done? Do you have joint pain?
