hello, ill try to be as descriptive as possible. ive had upper abdomen pressure and tightening sensation for the last few weeks in the epigastric area and what feels like heart palpitations throughout day . ive had chronic insomnia and anxiety for years so ive been trying to brush it off as being that, but given my binge drinking history i cant anymore. i havent drank in 2 weeks but still have intense anxiety and feeling like my upper abdomen is about to spasm. no sharp or burning pains at all. just this squeezing sensation in upper abdomen. is this a intestinal issue like indigestion or something more? no extra lightheadness or dizzy other then what you get with typical anxiety, but i feel like my heart has palpitations after meals. what is going on?

    Hi I have dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure, although I have palpitations which can be a symptom, I have never had any pain in upper abdomen, mabe that could be a liver problem rather than heart, I would definitely get it checked by a doctor, other symptoms of cardiomyopathy are breathlessness and severe fatigue
