I've been taking Pristiq for anxiety for almost a year, and it's helping me a lot with my health anxiety. Recently though I've developed what feels like a stitch on my left side just under my rib. I felt pain and pressure there for a few weeks, then the pressure went away, and now it's more of a stitch. I occasionally get a stabbing pain there too, but it's pretty mild.
It was quite painful one day, then the next I felt a lot of gas gurgling down my left hand side. Now I'd say it's more sore than anything. Could this have been a blockage of some kind? I'm was eating terribly before Christmas and I stopped cold turkey. I've noticed I've lost 5 pounds in the past three days, and it's more than I could have possible lost, which of course sends me off into a spiral about having cancer.
I'm tempted to run to the emerg just to get reassurance. I've recently had my physical and blood work came out OK. Urine was OK too. Just this nagging pain. I also had an ultrasound last year because I had pain on my right side and they said all of my major organs looked good.
Sorry, this is a saga. I HATE health anxiety. Even with the meds it comes and scares the life out of me.
