Sick For A Few Months... Now Bad Pain In Chest

by cooplist, Oct 30, 2009 08:55PM
I have been feeling pretty rotton for a few months. Really draged out, sleeping a lot some nights, even into the afternoon, but not sleeping other night. I've had a lot of sinus pressure and a cough off and on. Sometimes a get that weird feeling just before you get a colf or flu, not really an ache in the body, but almost like your skin is sensitive and... oh i dont know how to explain that feeling. I guess it is achy and jumpy. I also have some mental disorders that are being controlled by medications. I am also bulimic with anorexic tendancies, but for the last 3 months (I was put on Seroquel) I gained a fair amount of weight and decided to get off the seroquel and my weight is going down again. I also take a lot of diurex and exlax and my family doctor told me i need to stop taking them because I have developed tachycardia and postural hypotension. Currently my prescribed med i take are spironolactone 100 mg/day, bupropion 400 mg/day, domperidone 40 mg/day, rabeprazole ec 20 mg/day, arthrotec 100 mg/day, Trazodone 200 mg/day, ducosate sod 200 mg/day, and citalopram 60 mg/day. exlax is extra strength and i take two/day and the diurex is 200 mg and I take 1/day. Just a little history on me for such a short question I want to ask, but I want you to have all the info.

So like I said, ive been feeling like I have a cold for a few months and cant seem to shake it. Then yesterday I went out in -1 degree celsius  weather, walking and I could feel the cold going into my lungs and it started to hurt. So I turned around and went home. Last night I started to cough and by this morning I was into a full blown hacking fest. Now this evening I have a dry cough sometimes and sometimes a crackel like sound. My throat is very sore. I dont know if its from the cough or just a sore throat. But my chest is really hurting. I keep getting a feeling like my heart is pumping really hard like its pumping up against my wind pipe and tickeling it that makes me cough a little too. I can really feel it when im laying down and being still. Almost like my body is jumping with every time my heart beats. Not a nice feeling. Tnight it feels really tight like something is wrapped around my ribs and squeezing.

I have a doctor appointment next thursday (have one every two weeks) but would like to know from anyone, expecially a doctor, what all this could be. Could it all be one thing, or just a bunch of different things not related?

I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

Oh, I forgot to also say, I have a tooth that cracked off a month or two ago that leaves an aweful taste in my mouth. It doesnt hurt but has areally bad taste that comes from it. I cant afford to get it fixed right now. I dont know if thats important or not.

Well, this was a waste of a post.

It sounds like you have the flu or something. Your chest probley feels tight because of the intense coughing episodes. Are you coughing up anything? Are you running a fever, any other symptoms?
