Hello,

As Humira is well controlling agent for rheumatoid arthritis from the class of monoclonal antibodies as Adalimumab content. Continue 6 weekly injections infusion as it is under cover of insurance. So far as chest pain is concerned, it is best recommended for cardiologist consulting to reveal the underlying cause of the same to manage best possible way. You require an ECHO, EKG and other supportive tests for this.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
