I've been short of breath for over 8 years...been misdiagnosed inumeral times. First they thought it was bronchitis induced asthma, put me on prednisone, I gained 120 lbs. and they dr. said ya know, you don't have asthma, I don't know if you ever did.....sheesh. But now I'm over weight, have diabetes from weight gaine and high blood pressure. Next specialist aid I had Fibroid Tumors the size of a football and that was pushing my stomach up into my chest and that was making me short of breath. Had a hysterectomy, got rid of fibroids....guess what??? Still short of breath and have a lovely scar from side to side. I've had my heart checked out seven ways to Sunday, been to gastro dr., pulmonologist, cardiolologist, surgeons, etc. Next diagnosis was acid reflux.....I now have been taking 40 mg twice a day of Nexium and zantac when I got to bed....and you guessed it...stomach is still killing me, and short of BREATH! Latest diagnosis? I have gall stones! Need more surgery!!! Symptoms: Shortness of Breath, pain in stomach, diarrehia, pain between breasts (agony), pain between ribs, pain between shoulder blades, acid reflux, pain in hips, lower back, upper spine. I'M A WRECK! CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP ME?
