: i'm a 28 year old female, up to about 14 weeks ago i was normal and had no major health problems. then i started experencing pain below the center of my rib cage which also goes into to my back and left shoulder. the pain is always there and is worse after i eat, laying down seems to ease the pain some what. i have gone from a size 14 pants to a size six and still losing weight. i can't sleep at night. i have gone through test after test and no answers yet, everything keeps coming back o.k. but the pain is still there. about three weeks ago, i starting having pain in my chest, my heart starts beating really fast and i start to shake and sweet, i thought i was having a heart attack. i'm still waiting of the answers back from the heart, blood and urain test. and the pain is still there. if anyone can help because i think i'm losing my mind. even if i had a place to start my reseach i would be greatful





Daisy, your symptoms sound similar to mine.  Have the doctors found anything out yet.  I have not gotten any
answers, either.  I am on medication for the rapid heartbeat.  All heart test
came back normal.  I still experience rapid beats every now and then.  I still have
pain in my chest and back.  I have been reading that others have these same
symptoms and the doctors don't know what they are.  Maybe we can help each other
diagnose this thing.




thank you renee for your words, it's help to know i'm not allow...to answer you question, i still don't know whats wrong with me. i just had an appointment with the stomach doctor, he doesn't know either. he put me on pantoloc, which is used to unduce the acid in your stomach and relax the muscles. he also put me on zoloft, to help my sleep and help relax me. i'm still losing weight and i'm about at the end of my rope. i'm still waiting for test to come back on my heart. the other test i had done which is tumor related, has come back and the numbers were high and my home doctor didn't know what to think about it so he sent the results to the stomach doctor for his thoughts. other then that no news is good news i guess. what about you any luck!!!!




Hi Daisy, I have no answers yet.  I have been still experiencing the same symptoms.  Actually, the symptoms
seem to be increasing.  I get them a little bit more its almost a daily occurance.  I am definetly going
to make an appointment with a GI.  I keep trying to post to this board to get advice from doctor but
can never get in to post a message.  I'll keep trying.  I just don't see how the doctors can't see
a relationship between the reflux and the increased heart rates.  I know this is signs of stress/anxiety but
mine usually occur when I am relaxing (atleast I think I am).  Maybe the body is relaxing and my mind
is not.  Keep in touch.  I am about ready to start research herbs to see if there is a cure in that arena.
