    ANy idas on stomach & chest

    Ok - this may have an obvious answer but i want to check

    Firstly i have only been to the toilet once in the last 5 days,today being the 1st. I have severe stomach cramps like someone is pulling a belt round my stomach

    2nd - about 40 mins ago i got an awful shooting / gripping pain on the left side of my chest where your heart is and is happening now every few minutes which i have no idea what it is

    3rd - checked BP as it has ben high for a week or so but just now it was 138/90!!

    Does anyone have any idea if its a heart problem / IBS or something else - thanks

    Well, I would guess that your BP is rising because you're thinking about it - it has a habit of doing this, unfortunately.

    As for your tum, it sounds to me as though you're constipated, particularly if you've only been once in 5 days. Constipation can cause all sorts of stomach pains, as your system gets backed up with what it can't get rid of. It can also cause headaches as well, I've found.

    Sorry hun but you really need to try and stop checking your BP like this.

    It looks like you are taking it less than every half an hour..a hospital wouldn't do it that much!

    Shooting pains in the heart region are usually harmless contractions of the muscles in that area, nothing more..I get them too quite regularly.

    They are not the signs of an imminent heart attack if that's what you are worried about.

    thanks ladybird - i had no internet yesterday so was even worse :(

    I have now been to the toilet several times but i still have the pains (had a drink or two last night of blue WKD as i know i always go to the toilet then)

    My chest is equally as bad today as is stomach and stabbing pain in back where my bra would clasp but i am unsure if this is from the alcohol??

    Why can these awful symptoms not just leave me alone

    Hi
    i suffer wit a range of different symptoms they come and then go when i think of something new. for example i have flitted from worryig clout my breathing to worrying clout tiredness to worrying about my arms.
