    Not nice symptoms, and not some I've experienced.  But, these things come to mind:  Gall bladder, pancreas and even lungs and heart which can cause some pressure discomfort from the waist up, I think I've read.  I know women with heart trouble can feel pain in their back.  I don't think this is something I would ignore, Royalty.  That wasn't meant to scare you and it may be just more of the unusual stuff that can come with this illness, but I'd get checked out if it happens again.

    I get this quite a bit, and in fact as well as the ME/CFS I was diagnosed with asthma at 58 after collapsing in the garden one afternoon and having to get an ambulance, who immediately put me on a ventilator. I'm now on regular puffers and although they do make things a lot better I still get the sort of symptoms that you describe though which isn't relieved by the puffers, so I have always put it down to yet another of the vagaries of this stupid condition....

    Yours may well be the CFS but just to be sure, have it checked by your doctor by doing a simple peak flow test that takes two minutes. It's always best to eliminate other possible causes of symptoms when you have ME/CFS, just in case.

      Ask your doctor to check your Vitamin B12 and Folate levels as just one of the symptoms of B12 deficiency is breathlessness and apprently their is a connection with CFS.
