Formication-like feeling
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me. So I experience this annoying condition where I feel itching or pain mostly on my rib cage or chest. As I would describe it, it is something like formication which is the sensation when you feel like there are insects crawling under your skin. The thing is it is very random and at times I don't feel anything but then a day will come when it becomes quite unpleasant. Now I've read online it could happen because of tiredness but that can't be the case since I am currently not working but spending time at home most of the time. I sleep around 9 to 10 hours. Going to sleep at 12pm and waking up at 10am or something. As what I do during the day is mainly play video games or watch TV with the family. The annoying thing is that this feeling or sensation can happen at any time when doing or not doing anything. Sometimes it happens during the night and I start feeling hunger or there is this popping sensation in my chest.
Now I used to go to the doctor periodically few months ago and she described me some drugs, don't remember which ones but I stopped taking them since I started feeling a lot better. But this thing has returned and I don't know what to do now. Can anyone help me get through until my next appointment? It is at the end of May. Thank you in advance.
