sleep paralysis, palpitations, IBS and back pain

been suffering from sleep paralysis and palpitations for the past 3 weeks very badly. was suffering from these about a year ago for a long time but they went away. for the past week i've had really bad IBS and now today i've woken up with this back pain that is like something squeezing my middle back for a few seconds then goes away, it isn't excruciating but it's the nausia it causes that really bugs me. This happens every 30 seconds now. What on earth is wrong with me?? I' AM very stressed out. Have been since i was 16. I'm 26 now. Has the stress caused long term damage?? Please help! I feel like ending my life! :'(

You could have impacted bowels. You should go get checked. This can be very painful and caused serious damage to your intestines. The pain is more than likely fecal matter and gas working its way down and when you get backed up it can cause nausea. Stressing out is making everything worse. Try relaxing a little bit. Get checked to make sure everything is ok.  It may help  ease your stress if you have someone to talk to. If you need someone to listen you can talk to me at anytime. We all need someone to listen to us. Hope things get better for you soon. Best wishes.

she gave me Nexium 40mg. one to be taken daily for two weeks. No pain killers or anti inflammatorys i'm afraid. Feeling better already though.

Glad you found out what it is. It does sound painful. How do they treat that? I hope the paralysis/apnea improve. Best wishes.

Went to the doctor. She says my stomach is inflamed. Sometimes when your stomach is sore you feel it in your back. It explains why the pain was there and gone there and gone, it was the grinding motion of my stomach. And why I felt nauseous with lots of watery saliva and an acidy oesophagus. The sleep paralysis/apnea and palpitations are either from stress or it's hereditary. Something i'll need to ask my family about. Cheers for the advise.
