Stomach pain and chest pressure
Posted , 2 users are following.
So I have a history of mild to moderate acid reflux and I have been told I have IBS.
The last two weeks my dog got really sick and almost died and it caused and very severe amount of stress in my life.
Starting 3 days ago I began having physical symptoms that may or may not be related. It started off as a pressure on my chest (like somebody put a weight there) I also had a good bit of phlegm that I was hacking up (the phlegm has since gone away). I can take a deep breath with no issues and im not feverish. Anytime I would eat or drink anything, sometimes just moving wrong caused a sharp sudden pain in my stomach that would go away as quickly as it came. I can continually re-aggravate it by continuing to move, eat or drink. I was constipated with diarrhea at the same time, but adjusting my diet fixed that but even having a bowel movement did not help this other part.
Anyone had anything like this? I have a Dr appointment on Tuesday, but im trying to self diagnose beforehand (always a good idea) I know its not a heart attack because its been 3 days and im still alive.

i know you won't like me saying this but this sounds like your having panic attacks. i know this sounds like nothing but panic attacks can really affect your life, it doesn't seem funny to me, it sounds serious and good luck with your appointment.

I dont like or dislike, but if thats what it is that is probably one of the best case scenarios I could have. Ive seen people have panic attacks that take all shapes. I had one friend that started having a seizure out of the blue and thats what it ended up being.

i just for your sake you get the correct support. if it is panic it's not funny but can be treated! i'd insist on seeing your doctor as i am no expert.
