Hello,

A brief history of my problems...

I have been suffering with bloating in stomach for an year which has got a bit better now....

For last two years I had upper and middle back pain on & off.... back pain keeps moving under my shoulder blades or under ribs or in the middle, sometimes on one side or the other or both.... I also suffer with shortness of breathes on and off .... chest pain and pains in left knee....

I had all the blood tests which showed iron and B12 deficiency .... and a chest X-Ray which said I had prominent vascular hilar which required further assessment by CT Chest.

I am really worried and depressed that I might have some serious problem related to lungs or heart.

Is there anyone else here who has or had same sort of health issues and what was the treatment they are going through or went through? ...

Thanks.

    I have similar symptoms. Last year I was diagnosed with multiple pulmonary emboli, I was on blood thinners for about 6-7 months. I am getting symptoms like you are now, but all my d-dimer blood tests I have had are normal. I think maybe it could be a hiatus hernia now which means I have to have an endoscopy. Are you getting a chest CT with contrast? Have they given you a d-dimer?

      Hi Moon,

      Sorry to hear you have been suffering too. I hope you are feeling better now.

      I had CT Chest, and by the grace of God, that came normal.

      I still have body pains. I have been prescribed B12 injections by GP.

    weight when started: 220. weight now: 170

    Issue: Severe dyspnea, constantly need a deep breathe and have trouble getting them

    I have had a pulmonary function test come out to be normal, 2 chest x-rays normal, and a CT-scan (without contrast) show up normal...

    History: Smoked a lot of hash oil for years(hot dabs) breathing issue started when i was still smoking... haven’t had anything to do with smoking in over 3 years.

    Was overweight, and spent most of my days playing video games on a recliner and lifting heavy weight in the gym.

    The doctors told me it was anxiety at first, but the breathing issue has been here for over 3 years! they ran the tests mentioned above and still dont know what to do.

    Im at my whitts end.... does my constant need of a deep breathe, and medical background point to anything besides a lung issue??? could it be that ive had lyme for 3 years??
