I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis 20 yrs ago about, but suffered for years before. I am lucky that it has not spread to anywhere else. For the pain in my chest I did castor oil packs for 3 nights in a roll. About two years ago. It really helped. I felt like I was having a heart attack all the time. I think it was dried old mucus sticking to scar tissue. I exercise a lot and try to eat healthy. I have a long way to go.
