      Has anyone experienced chest pain while taking sub q interferon? It just started this past weekend. Everytime i take a deep breath theres a pain that shoots thru my chest and into my back. No cough or anything, short of breath easier with activity. I have been on sub q since june. Just curious if its a common side effect.

          I did a full year of interferon and never had any chest pains.  Please call your doctor and have it checked out.  I know we hate to "bother" them with every ache and pain, but this side effect should definitely be reported.  Hopefully it's nothing, but best to err on the side of caution.  Good luck!
