That sounds like it could be allergies, the pollen count is very high today.

I also burp a lot more than I used to. Quite uncomfortable. My doc didn't seem interested in that though so I wasn't sure it was connected to Costo.

I do get pain but i have breathing issues that occur without pain. Hard to know whether it's connected. I sometimes get a 'rising' sensation in my chest which seems to take my breath away. Can still train/workout despite this and my oxygen levels are fine. Very strange. Could also be associated anxiety as it makes me panic when my breathing changes.

Nothing unusual. I've been like this since last summer. For me it could be an injury from the gym.

I lost a lot of weight between Oct and Jan (2stone) as i wasn't eating. Had a gastroscopy in Jan to check for stomach issues but that came back normal. Seem to have ruled out any serious issues with loads of other tests but still doesn't feel great when chest pain and weird breathing starts (i get the breathing thing most days) . Am eating properly again now but smaller portions. Have not regained any weight yet. My confidence has taken a massive knock really. To be taken away from work in an ambulance will do that, i suppose. I have been suffering anxiety and panic attacks since the start of all this. That could also explain some of the weight loss.

yeah it does but i dont have much of a appetite at all so i think im going to contact my GP
jen01204 crystal75234

Is your lack of appetite due to anxiety as well? I think mine was. (I'm not a comfort eater.) The pain was so bad that the last thing i wanted to do was eat as i was so worried about what it was. I basically started by only eating food i really like. I didn't really worry too much whether it was 'balanced' at the time. Once i started getting food through my system my appetite built back up.

I really feel for you. And for Kyron796..
You are both very young ( 17 & 19 I think, from previous comments) and can hopefully heal the injury quickly. If you're not reassured then you should definitely head back to your GP. Difficult at the moment with Covid etc, but could you get a phone appointment? You must tell them about your anxiety as well. My GP was great. Referred me to a CBT (therapist). That has been really useful for controlling anxiety while I try to get through Costo. There will be a waiting list but my referral came through after 4 weeks.
