OK,
So ive been having chest pains for about 3 weeks now. Everyday, but the little stabs only come on for a split second and then leave. Once every hour or so. The doctors didnt do any real test for the digestive system (allthough ive already had chest xray, EKG, blood tests-CAT SCAN- all fine) but now the pains are being felt in the lower 2 ribs. They feel like little stabs every now and then and they are driving me absolutely insane!
I have read about the whole swollen abdominal muscles, and chest wall pain- but i just cant seem to think that anxiety could be the case....im always thinking its some sort of terminal illness.
The pills the doctors gave me for acid reflux ( generic form of Zantac- called ranitidine 150) seemed to take the pain away for the first 2 days, but now its back worse than ever.... it just keeps happening!
The feeling is extremely bad in the morning when i wake up, before i get out of bed, and it occurs all through the day. And ever since this morning its felt like a burning (almost like heartburn or pressure...) on the right side of my back. It friggin hurts when it comes and goes!
Ive read about GERD but havent seen a digestive doc yet. Im hoping that it is indeed an anxiety symptom, but what i dont nderstand is that it is all the time, and not just when im having an attack!
any ideas?:mad:
