Hi
A couple of nights ago, after around 1 hour of watching TV in bed, I had a crushing sort of pain, which seemed to be in my chest, which made me sit up. It did seem to improve each time I burped, so maybe it was indigestion? I had had some cheese and onion crisps and a biscuit just before I went up to bed, which I don't usually do. Also, I had taken 2 lots of Ibuprofen on Thursday, due to unbearable aches in arms. I do a lot a sitting at the computer so it may be realted to that. I have read that Ibuprofen is not recommended whilst on Sertraline, but the Chemist said it was ok to use, as long as I did not get any indigestion. Do you think the Ibuprofen could have caused this 2 days later?
I went to the Dr's yesterday. She took my BP which was fine, and listened to my heart (normal but going fast, I hate going to the Dr's and get worked up!). She said that the pain was not heart related. She said that I have to go to see her for reassurance and that she has a lot of patients who are doctor dependant. I do not want to be like that! In April, I had an ECG, fine, and blood tests, 24 hour urine, chest x-ray, cholestorol, B12 and folate, hormones, bone density etc. Everything was ok. It was put down to Anxiety.
I am on Sertaline (for 2 months, half a teaspoon for 1 month, then 1 teaspoon for a month.) I am due to start on the 50mg tablets, which she said I may have to increase to 1 and a half tablets, to get myself better, and back "to normal". At the moment, I have burning skin in chest, back and arms, tingling fingers again, and palpitations. I worry a lot, and at the moment it is Stomach Cancer and Heart Problems.
Does it just sound like anxiety?
