Elish Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I read and heard a lot of people talking about flare ups. But, I don't think I've ever had one. So, What are the signs or symptoms of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigskyfam Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm new here. So if I had to guess based on my symptoms... A trigger leads to a flare either short term or longer term. Example... Today I've been to cardiac rehab, post office and shuttling kids and hubby. In store I leaned back to look at something, Started to see feel wierd, heart flutters, foggy, tired.... Then heart rate went up and it's stalled me. You realize it when you start to feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 For me a flare up is when my symptoms get significantly worse for a few days or longer. I've recently had my worst flare since I first got sick; it has lasted 3 months and I was close to having to give up working (again).

E Soskis Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 A flare is a sudden increase in symptoms - may have had relatively few symptoms for awhile then all of a sudden, you "flare" and begin to have lots of symptoms - sometimes for no apparent reason - it just happens - can last a long time or a short time - just depends upon the symptoms and what is causing them to "flare-up" - as you get better at recognizing your triggers (what brings on a flare), then hopefully, you can prevent some of the flare-ups - not always but, sometimes.....
