Hello to all!

I wondered if any of you suffered with gas, bloating and pressure in your chest area? Mine is always above my left breast and it is usually first thing in the morning and sometimes after I eat. Is this a part of reflux?

    I'm so glad that others are like me, I talk at work and a 2 others out of 5 of us are on same medications symptoms. I too have wanted to goto hospital, I lost a bit of wait I'm hoping was just due to anxiety. I've been suffering for 3rd now... does anyone else suffer ibs. As when I first had these symptoms they were minor with bloating and pressure. I don't get heartburn pain bad unless I have lager. Which I seldom do now. But I always get pain (mild) central near breastbone like bloating and on and off lower down in belly like stinging senation. What really got me down is pains left arm and neck which could be trapped nerve doc said... but my anxiety works over time. I read that this is partly caused by an imbalance of gut flora (anxiety) and where I read this they was very positive in the use of prebiotic. I really would like to see a nutritional is and would love for my ticker to be checked out so I could stop worrying as much.

      I get the pain/tingling in arm and neck sometimes and it is a by product of anxiety and stress. Doctors need to be careful in what they "think" something is so as to not cause undue fear in their patients. That is so inconsiderate and unprofessional in my opinion.

      Yeah I get that too. I'm sort of used to it by now. It is definitely due to stress and anxiety.
