Potential Hernia / Abdominal Pain
Posted , 1 user is following.
To start off, I am 34 year old male, 5'8" and weigh around 155. I am not on any drugs, medications, do not smoke and don't drink.
About 2 years ago, I was on an inverted ab machine doing abs and slipped coming down, instead of centering myself on bench, I re-lifted myself up with my left side and immediately it felt like something went up under my left rib cage. I immediately stopped working out and went to my primary care doctor a week later. He thought a hernia and sent me to a specialist.
After a CT and MRI was done, they said that they didn't see anything and told me to go to pain management. I then got a second opinion from another general surgeon and they didn't see anything either. I talked to a doctor on Live Health Online and just based on my symptoms said that it could be Abdominal Aorta so I am waiting on seeing a Vascular Surgeon.
To fast foward, in the last 6 months, during the day I am dizzy and light headed and have constant pain daily below/under left rib. I recently took it upon myself and got blood work done which only showed high levels of Non -HDL Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol.
When I lay on my back, within 30 min I will immediately wake up with both calves burning and a crazy irregular heart beat with pulsating/palpations near left rib and sometimes by belly button. If I lay on my stomach or right side, then I will immediately wake up due to similar symptoms but also feels like something trying to beat so hard and out of chest below left rib. What's crazy is that when I sit up and work in my office chair, I feel like a bump on left side above hip; but when I lay down at night, I cannot feel this bump. One night my BP was 80/45 with a 74 pulse.
Any help is greatly appreciated and please ask me any questions. I have been logging a journal with symptoms and what I have been eating throughout day.
Warm Regards,
Lewis Linscott
