Do you get attacks after you eat certain foods like eggs? or Steak?
I had the same problems you have had. I was to the ER 4 times, given shots to relax me, and pain killers to take home, they even wanted to put me on anxiety pills, thinking I had panic attacks.
My attacks happened allot at night, I would be waken up by the worst pain I have ever had, it was hard to breathe, stand, sit, Extreme pain in my back, and my rib cage, and center of my chest. I could not do anything to feel better, except to stand in a hot shower, as hot as I could stand it, until I used all the hot water...
I finally found a Doctor who was determined to look harder at my symptoms and gave me an ultra sound, blood test, etc...
Found out that I had Gall stones, and a very infected gall bladder, which required me to have it removed... Once removed, the pain was instantly gone, and I have felt great since.
I struggled with my problems for almost 4 months before they figured it out... and I was sure glad when they did...
So if you want to see for yourself if it may be your gallbladder, try eating Steak and eggs for supper, and you should have a better idea...
If it is your gallbladder and you eat these, I am warning you now, you will be in pain later....
Best of luck, and hope things turn out alright...
You need to see a specialist. Go to a gastroenterologist.
i had the same things a couple of years ago and no one could detect it but i soon found that everytime it happened i would have taken ibuprofen or hedex tablets
it stopped ever since i stopped taking those pain killers
U/S should usually pick up on gallstones. But not always. Often a barium swallow x-ray would be another way to find problems with gallstones. Could it be an attack of acid reflux? I get those and yes they can be so escrutiating sometimes that it hurts to breathe. I would get a 2nd opinion. I have a problem with dr.s prescribing such strong painkillers before they narrow down what your problem might be. I am sure you needed those painkilllers but why in the world did they not give you some sort of idea of the problem? Thats weird.
You need more tests. See another Doctor if you can. Go to the ER when it happens again. Be persistent on getting a diagnosis. Don't take I don't know for an answer. There are more tests than just ultrasound. CT scan for example. There are a lot of organs in that area, it could be a number of things. Best wishes.
You could have GERD or Acid Reflux. But, blood test alone are not enough. You need some serious testing.. If they are giving your Oxycontin for pain then it must be severe. Did they check your appendix?
Maybe your doctor is not doing his job and you need so see a specialist like a gastroenologist. Have thet done an r ultra sound and an endoscopy. Good Luck and be well.
Your boy friends mother could be right. It could also be appendicitis. This is serious. Please see another doctor soon. Most of these things do not show up in your blood work.. That is the purpose for the more sophisticated testing.
Good Luck and be well!
when i had that happen to me i was 8 and it was arterial ceptal defect that is when you have a whole in your heart and the air is being re oxygenated and it hurts really bad and you go into extreme pain attacks but do they only hurt when you breath? and is it a repetitive thing?
