Chest pain, short of breath, dizziness?
Posted , 1 user is following.
I am 21 years old, female, and the only medical issue I have is Fibromyalgia. I had laproscopic gallbladder surgery on 3/21/18, and 3 days later I began having breathing problems and chest pain. I have been to the ER 3 times, seen my PCP, and nobody can figure out what is wrong with me. I have had x-rays, a CT scan with contrast for my chest, and blood tests. My symptoms include: sharp chest pain in the upper part of my chest, shortness of breath (worse upon exertion), dizziness, lightheadedness. These happen intermittently, and have been going on for weeks. At first I thought it was just anxiety, as I have an anxietyssue. But I know my body, and my anxiety has never ever been like this, and panic attacks do not last for weeks. I have this instinct I guess I could say that something is wrong, and I just cannot shake it. I am going to lose my job because I have had to miss work, or go home early, because my chest hurt so bad and I could not breathe. I have been trying to do some research online, but I do not want to diagnose myself. I read an article about someone who was around my age and had identical issues going on. She discovered she had pulmonary hypertension, and it was crazy how similar our situation was. Could that be a possibility? Doctors won't really listen to me, and I feel helpless and out of options. What would you guys do? Anyone else been in a similar situation, or had similar symptoms? I have been thinking it could be an infection from my surgery, but I have no idea if that would cause breathing problems. Any help is welcome!
