Ok My father died sept.25 of aorta anyerisam at this time my weight was 219 lbs that morning I had a bad BM from the stress ,I had eaten steak the night before. 2 days later I started expereienceing some sharp chest pains and and nose was running I related it with stress because I have high blood pressure and father of course ...so i went to the er to get a EKG and chest xray everything was good no sighns of heart attack
the doctor said she saw some bronchitis in my lungs and gave me a zpac..the zpac seemed to help but a week after i started getting pains under my left rib it would move to my chest and back also my right side as well, felt like gas pain this would happen at the same time every evening around 5:30 pm I also have fatige and a sensation of my heart pulsing through my body ,my stool has been runny yellow to regular formed brown back and forth and once it looked like I passed some stones covered with brown stool. since this started weight is 197 and has been up and down between 197-200 the pain and fatige are not great it is a slite pain but enough to know somthing is wrong..in the past I have been a heavy drinker of beer and indulged in greasy foods like pizza and hamburgers but have since quit drinking since sept 25/02 sometime back a couple of times I can remember after eating pizza a little slite pain under the ribs on both right and left sides nothing major at that time. after all the reading I have done on this board and webmd i have learned that I have symptoms of gallstones or pancreities and that quick weight loss can cause gallstones. part2 nex
