2181319 tn?1337737809 ve been experiencing a sharp burning pain located just below my sternum on both side of my chest. The pain then expands through my chest and and middle/upper back, neck and shoulder areas. When this happens, i can't slump over or curl up (which is my normal response to pain), because the pain just intensifys. It forces my to sit straight, when i do that, i get extremely dizzy and sick. After about 10-15 minutes the pain begins to fade away. what could be causing this?
Avatar m tn I am in so much pain and not sleeping well. I would like to know if gallstones can change your moods as i am so aggitated and snappy at the moment.
Avatar f tn I was recently diagnosed with gallstones after having massive pain 2 nights in a row. I’m also very anemia and now suffering from pins and needles in all extremities, along with chest pain and tons of gas. Has anyone had a similar situation, where you became anemic due to gallstones? I’m very scared with how my body has been feeling this entire year. Thank you!
Avatar n tn ve had gallstones and have now had my gallbladder removed. I had horrendous stabbing pain just under my breasts in the middle of my chest, it would then go away but rise up through my back. The pain lasted 15mins and I could time my watch by it. I would feel really cold and shaky after the attacks. I had about 4 attacks every few months. The last time I had it the pain lasted two hours (due to eating a lot of fatty food that weekend) and then I was rushed to hospital.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had those? Do these symptoms sound like it could be a possibility? Chest pain from the middle to the left, middle and left back and shoulder pain, loss of appetite, and nausea.

Avatar m tn have you strained your muscle doing any vigorous activity and not rested it?
368461 tn?1291515587 You might have gallstones. I have them and that's the kind of pain I get too. Sometimes it lasts all day; sometimes just for a while. At its worst, it got unbearable and went away when I threw up. You should tell your doctor and perhaps they can do an ultrasound to outrule gallstones. I hope it's not that, but it's better to know, right? Good luck!
Avatar f tn The second doctor I saw knew immediately what it was and said he had seen other people present with appendicts pain aswell, he thought it was caused by refered pain down the muscles, or an irritation in the bowel by small stones or too much bile. But he did point out it was only a theory.
Avatar m tn Normal BP, elevated cholesterol/triglycerides (but improving), not diabetic. History of asymptomatic gallstones. Was sitting at my desk when had sudden pain noticed first in right ear/jaw. It radiated to mid-chest, right shoulder/back. Had something that felt like mid indigestion. Felt hot. I felt slightly lightheaded but may have been hyperventilating due to pain and anxiety. No nausea, vomiting.
Avatar n tn The symptoms of pleurisy are chest pain and difficulty breathing. The chest pain usually starts suddenly. People often describe it as a stabbing pain and it usually gets worse with breathing. The pain: * May always be present, but it usually gets worse when you breathe in. You may avoid breathing deeply to prevent the pain. * Usually is on only one side of the chest. * May extend to a shoulder or the belly. * Is usually worse when you cough, sneeze, or suddenly move.
Avatar f tn 2 days ago I went to the hospital for what I thought was chest pain, turns out it was gallstones. They then said my liver was enlarged and my liver enzymes are ALT 176 and AST 249! I am terrified that I am very sick! I never drank or did drugs I am not on any medication nor do I take any over the counter medicine. i was tested for all the hepatitis's when pregnant. I just had more blood drawn today and a CT scan of the abdomen. Of course I have to wait till next week for results.
Avatar n tn I am a 40 year old female who has been having occasional left sided chest pain and burning for about 2 1/2-3 weeks now. It is a dull ache sometimes and sharp pain other times. My upper left arm also gets very sore and achy and sometimes I have a cold and numb left hand.This morning I woke up and I have been having sharper pain and burning all day so I went to the Emergency Room and had some tests done.My blood tests, chest xrays and ekg have all came back normal.
Avatar m tn I have an ultrasound which showed multiple gallstones with the largest measures 8 mm, I went to my Gastroenterologist, she advised for surgery. I have no symptoms except for slight pain at the Upper quadrant of my abdomen. I am 45 years old, male, diabetic and hypertensive, presently I am on strict no fat diet and almost the pain is gone. I am hesitant to do the surgery, I read some cleansing juice using apple juice,olive oil etc. Does it work? any medication that be dissolve this stone?
Avatar m tn Although your EKG and cholesterol levels have come out normal, so it is relaxing that chest pain is less likely due to cardiac pain. To complete rule out any cardiac cause, ECHo should be done. The other possibility is of acid reflux which can mimic a heart condition, Try raising the head of your bed about four inches with blocks. It also might help to avoid eating or drinking for two hours before you lie down.
Avatar m tn When I took those medications, I felt like I was having the same exact pain in the upper pain in the diaphram like when I had gallstones, but I dont have my gall bladder any longer, what could this be?????
Avatar f tn I have been having chest pains for over a year. Mid chest pain sometimes in neck & ears too. Never after eating or any heartburn. My PCP had me do all the heart tests. All neg. after an endoscopy, ultrasound & HIDA scan, I have Barrett’s esophagus, hiatal hernia, gallstones & an EF rate of 7%. My only symptom is the chest pain that lasts about 10 min. Sometimes 2-3 times a week or a week or two in between.
6897718 tn?1386145496 Peumonia, pleurisy and pulmonary embolism are lung conditions causing chest pain. In anginal pain there is chest tightness, heavy pressure, squeezing and shortness of breath. A clinical examination is very important for confirming the cause. Tests like X-ray chest and ECG may provide more information. Consult a physician .I sincerely hope it helps. Do keep me posted. Best wishes and take care!
Avatar m tn If you do have gallstones, I would definitely suggest visiting a specialist to ensure that they are not causing the pain. Reflux can cause pain in all of these locations, but gallstones are nothing to mess around with! Best of luck!

Avatar n tn Then about 2 months ago I went back in to the doc for chest pain and they ran an EKG and diagnosed me with anxiety. Even though these symptoms come everytime I eat and do not subside until typically the next morning. Then the pain traveled into my right side and started to radiate up my back and into my chest. I saw one doc and she thought it was gallstones and sent me home with Zantac, no ultrasound no nothing.
1535550 tn?1292460322 i have had pain in the middle of my ribs under my chest for a while it often moves to the right side under the ribs usually when i get it i have alot of nausea and sometimes diahrea or constipation it switches and i recently went to my dr. and she had a ultrasound done of my gallbladder,but they were normal.She has sent me to another dr. and taking me for more test and i was wondering if i should have it removed?
Avatar f tn Ive had this niggling pain in my right side half way up the ribs for a few weeks on and off then 9 days ago it was quite severe. I was admitted to hospital where they said it was gallstones, an ultrasound showed nothing. I came home after one night. My chest xray was clear. The camera into my stomach showed gastritis, ( inflammation of the lining of my stomach). Gp thinks its inflammation of the intercostal muscles but it doesn't hurt when i move, when i eat i get severe pain.
