Hi all, My names Nancie, heres my story...
3 years ago I had an "incident" Oain in chest, all of my insides were spasming, my chest closed in and I had a hard time breathing..trying to breath through Pain is no fun, no position helps, gasping for air sucks, it really does. Then after 15-20 minutes I vomit and all of a sudden my airway opens and I feel myself able to breath again, and about 10 minutes after that my insides feel better. Weird huh..well That happened and 5 months later i had it for a week straight everyday like 2-3 times a day..In and out of hospitals etc.. Get tested ..they think its my gallbladder ( since it was in bad shape) so I get it removed..Nothing happens for 3 years and BOOM Yesterday same thing happens, Chest gets sore ( although i had heartburn and acid indeigestion all week, i get that all the time anyway) My breathing is hard, my lips go purple. face white, feverish and trying to breath...I though the gallbladder cured this, but it didn't.
Now I am think serious ACID REFLUX..SEVERE!! Do what ..DO I need to go on pills, Is this like 3 years all over again, I am so upset, scared etc..
But i do know Once I VOMIT, my airways open up again and I can slowly breath better...Has this happened to anyone else?
Please let me know, cause no one seems to write about the "vomit" part when I read about Acid Relfux. I know when I am having a Sever Adic Reflux attack that Vomitting does relieve me.
This pain is like being punched your hardest in the chest ( like having the wind knocked outta ya) and having to find your breath, it really is scary.
So please write if we are kinda alike, Thanks
Nancy
