Hi everyone, it is a while since I've been on the forum. I have been experiencing left sided rib and back pain for about 2 weeks now. I thought it was due to anxiety but am worrying it might be something more. Sometimes it feels as if something is pushing up underneath my rib, a feeling of 'fullness', it's difficult to describe. It also feels uncomfortable when I breathe, almost like I can't breathe properly and there is a pressure stopping my lungs inflating.
The feeling is worse when I sit in an easy chair; when I stand and walk about it is less troublesome. I am also better when I lay down flat.
I am really worrying that I have something like pancreatic cancer and as usual I have been visiting 'Mr Google'!! I saw my doctor last week, but it has got worse since then. I did a peak flow measurement when I was there and it was fine.
Any help would be appreciated as I am working myself up into a frenzy over this. Thanks.:scared15:
