Good evening everyone!

I hope everyone is having a good, symptom free day. I was having a pretty good one myself, but about 2-3 hours ago I felt a strange pain in between my right bottom rib and my right pectoral area. It wasn't constant, but I felt it every few seconds for a minute or so. A stabbing type sensation, probably a 5 out of 10 in terms pain. I'm guessing this is anxiety manifesting itself, so I was wondering if anyone else has felt something similar. I was so worried about it that I got up and started running in place and doing jumping jacks to see if anything would be aggravated, which it wasn't.

It's so much fun that whenever we get the slightest discomfort in our bodies (chest for me) this is where our minds go smhair smhair smhair

Oh yeah. I think it was my gallbladder.

Any discomfort for me at all and my mind goes crazy.

Same with me! It is nice to know that I am not the only one with health anxiety!

Hey ZA!

Well.... You said you were having some belly issues the other week right? I hate to say this word, but.... (burping).... and stuff like that, right? LOL... Maybe this is all related to indigestion of some sort.....???

Belly issues can sometimes be mistaken to be chest/heart issues because the placement is usually the low chest. I personally had stabbing pains in my upper belly / lower chest a few weeks back, and when the doc pressed on it, it shot up to my "chest" area. It was all related to belly, and here I was for months thinking I was having chest pain!!

The body is so confusing! Are you feeling any better today!!??!!

Hi ZA..

Have to agree with TMA in terms of the pains being related to your stomach! I was getting pains all over the place in my chest, ribs etc and started taking tablets for acid reflux and I rarely get the pains anymore :)

Feeling better today??

ZA,

Sarcasm noted. ;) (and appreciated!)

I hope that your 'FUN' has completely ended, and will never come back!

Seiously though, hope it was a passing thing, and that you are feeling better today.

yes i got just the other day. i know what you mean - mine happened twice and never again that day and i thought HEART ATTACK! lol not funny then of course.

strange pings and pangs every now and then are part of life i guess. the idea to just take it calmly is the hard part. ha

Thanks for the thoughts and kind words everyone,

I am feeling a bit better today. There have been a few times while standing that I feel somewhat faint, but I'm not sure if they are really occurring of if I am just kinda manifesting them. TMA and CT, maybe I will look into gastro issues. As you said TMA, I have been burping alot, I was thinking it as more of a tic I developed, sort of similar to how my finger goes to my neck to check my pulse every so often now. I took a nice hot bath with some salts/oils and that was very relaxing, now all I need is some hot chocolate and I'll be in a better mood :)

Thanks SC, Park, Hazel, TMA, John, everyone else. Words can be extremely comforting!

Glad you're feeling better today, Zack!

A nice hot bath and some hot chocolate sounds awesome. I may have to do that myself tonight.

:-)
