It is terrible, does anyone have any answers???

Hello. Please help if you can. No doctor has. 35 year old female . Pressure in my left side under my rib area.  sometimes it feels as if I am being squeezed around my middle.Feel like I can not sit down comfortably, as if there is something stuck inside.  Now I have unexplained weight gain ( although I watch what I eat and  am active) and the weight is all in my abdomon. Have had this come and go for 1 year. All the tests done , x-ray, ct scan , mri, barrium.cardiac tests ..nothing! I am uncomfortably miserable all the time and can not fit in my clothes and it is getting worse! i don't know what to do, the only thing they found was a cyst in my right ovary and some matter in my lower lungs. I have very low blood pressure and pulse, lightheaded often. I have seen so many similer postings  online but no answers!

I assume they have checked pancreas?  Possible ovarian issues might be something to check out.  Briefly, been down that road.  Had one rupture and I had terrible rectal spasms and shoulder pain.  Another friend had shoulder pain and bloating Nd it was ovary issues that City of Hope finally diagnosed. Her doctor had her going to a chiropractor.  A neighbor had bloating, vague abdominal symptoms.  I sent her to my gynecologist and it was an ovarian tumor.  This certainly may not be the case but may be worth checking into.

Ovarian cysts are usually transient. They come and go. Your body can reabsorb them and they will go away or they can burst and you feel like crap for a day. But they are usually not permanent. Have they tested you for a bowel obstruction or slow bowel movements or something of that nature? I don't know for sure that you've been found to have diverticulitis, but it should have shown up on a CT scan. It can be quite painful, but is usually a pain that is lower in the abdomen. I would attest any shortness of breath and dizziness to the "matter" in your lungs. Do you have a slight pneumonia? Even aspiration pneumonia needs to be addressed -where you have inhaled mucus or food into your lungs. I really hope they keep looking and find something. This does not sound very good. Best of luck to you -don't give up looking.

Not good. have you tried blood tests and or asked the doctor to feel your abdomen? Walk in the morning and at night for about a month. stretch before. if pain is too unbearable that day just stretch. lots of stretching.
