Pain and pressure that I can’t pinpoint cause. Losing my sanity!
I’m losing my mind here so hopefully somebody can shed some light and hopefully help me in point what the cause of this debilitating pain and pressure is. It is a constant pain, irritation and pressure feeling that traces that exact path in the picture from like the top right of my xiphoid process to about the bottom of my rib cage. Sometimes it feels GI, sometimes it feels lung/airway related, sometimes it even feels postural or mechanical. What I mean is, that pressure and pain is a lot of times triggered by certain foods and reflux. The weird thing is that it is also triggered most always buy exercise. Anything from weightlifting to running triggers that pain along with a very noticeable right side shortness of breath. It’s all centered to the right sided. I can continue working out but the sensation and feeling is there consistently. And post exertion I’m left with consideration that something is being irritated there. Sometimes I feel relief with alginate and throat soothing things, and bland diet, but then sometimes that stuff doesn’t work at all. It’s so hard to determine what it is because of the various forms of triggers that cause this. I did get an endoscopy and the doctor found a very small 1 cm hatial hernia, but everything I read points to hernia being on the left side and the pain being felt centered to the left and not the right side. I also have a bit of esophageal erosion but the symptoms are so disproportionate to what those things entail. The shortness of breath and sometimes dizziness and lingering general sense of un wellness it’s so pronounced that I can’t believe it would be what doctors essentially blew off and they’re treating with some omeprazole. I also got a pulmonary function test and that was fine. I am going absolutely not though. It is debilitating and lately I just shake can’t it at all.
Oh and I do not have my gallbladder, which I thought was a cause of the pain at one point and got it removed.
Please please if anybody can lend me insight. Meet me as a group through this or have any suggestions, I would greatly and wholeheartedly appreciate it.
