Abdomino Phrenic Dyssynergia (APD)
Lets start a thread on this horrible condition and maybe try to help each other find a cure.
If you dont know what APD is, its a horrible condition where your diaphragm pushes down on your organs when its supposed to go up and make room for food and liquids. This causes lots of downward pressure, making you feel full, bloated and pregnant literally 24/7.
Been to multiple pelvic floor physical therapists and none of them have been able to help.
I've had this for over 15 years and I've been suffering and don't know what to do. Below are all the symptoms I've had over the years:
- Constant bloating and rock hard stomach that feels extremely uncomfortable especially after a meal. Stomach feels like a pressurized balloon and ready to explode.
- Pelvic Floor dysfunction (feels like pelvic floor is constantly tight)
- Erectile dysfunction (weak erections that don't happen very often)
- Urine stream problems (weak urine stream and difficulty emptying bladder)
- Anterior Pelvic Tilt
- Difficulty breathing after a meal
- Fullness very quickly (Can only have a maximum of two or three meals a day)
- No libido
Has anyone successfully cured this? If so how? What has been your experience? Lets help each other solve this once and for all.
