Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I am out here but I really do need my friends to help me.
This morning I got up after a semi-restless night and went to the computer in my home office. I am someone who spends a ton of time at the computer in one position for hours and hours (with some breaks). All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in the right shoulder blade that seemed to come through to the right front. It was piercing and lasted for about 20 minutes. As a self-admitted hypochondriac, I have been tested for everything and about a month and a half ago went to the ER at a heart specializing hospital and had a complete cardiac workup as well as lungs for shortness of breath (no findings). Instead of jumping to conclusions I of course went online and panicked more. I finally called my doctor who I have seen for twenty years. He called me back and we spoke. I explained the situation and that it was not accompanied with any dizziness, fast heartbeat, sweating (in fact I was a bit chilly), vomiting or the like. He listened intently and then said that this could also be muscular. I thought it was logical after the hours I spend with my arms streched across a desk and rigid in their position as well as a mattress that my wife and I need to replace.
Here is the issue that I believe some of you can relate to. I ate today and felt hungry but now I am just sitting and waiting for pain which I believe I can create but am not smart enough to dismiss as my own creation. I really do not want to run and get this checked out. In fact I just had bloodwork done two days ago and it came back OK. MY tryglcyerides were a bit high but cholesterol was 150 *with meds - and other numbers seemed good. I am overweight (about 290) but am trying to lose.
I went to a ton of symptoms from Gallbladder, Pancreas and Heart, but they all seemed to include items that I did not have. Can panic do this (upper right pain)? I always dimiss panic attacks becuase I woke up this morning and sat down, what's to panic about? Any words of wisdom will help me. I could use the advice.
Thanks friends.
