View 2 RepliesThis is my 4th pregnancy. I miscarried my previous pregnancy around 2 weeks, this pregnancy I'm 4wks+1d. For the past 2 days I've been feeling what feels like quickening on the sides of my stomach not far from my belly button and in the middle of my pelvis but I know it's too early. I also know that the more times you're pregnant the earlier you feel fetal movement and quickening. Has anyone else experienced this, this early?? What could it be?
View 7 RepliesI have been experiencing higher the normal need to urinate lately. Sometimes going with very little flow but more frequently feeling the need to.
I have been feeling quite heavily bloated but last night was really bad when my stomach was causing me chronic pain. I passed both urine and stool ok. No blood and no smell from urine. Neither hurt either when going to the toilet it just seems frequent.
I have been to doctors and apparently slight bacteria from urine test but nothing identifying where an infection could be.
My stomach and sides lower down are incredibly painful and uncomfortable.
I ve been feeling a burning in my stomach and chest for a week now..what is the cause of that?

View 10 Repliesi think I've been peri for a few months now, even though blood test says I'm not! , I've had hot flushes, pains in chest and palpitations, first doc said menopause, 2nd said acid reflux for which I'm now been treated, but I know this can be linked to peri as well.
my new symptoms are stomach cramps like I get when I'm due on, but it's mid cycle, my periods have been regular so far, is this how it all begins?
For about a week now I've had burning sensation in my chest and upper stomach, not sure if it's muscle or inside my stomach. I guess it's muscle as its sensitive when my clothes brush against it. Has anyone else had this? Also the other day I had weird sensation in my foot like a buzzing feeling and it radiated up my leg and now I keep getting aches, pinches and pins and needles in my leg which makes me worry I have a blood clot or something even though everyone is telling me it's just anxiety, I'm having hard time sleeping because of it. Does anyone else experience these things? I hate how every pain I get I think I'm dying!!!
View 15 RepliesI have been doing a gradual return to work following diagnosis of GCA just before Christmas.
Last Thursday, a couple of people in the office, including and especially my boss, came into work with colds/coughs. By the middle of the night, I knew that I was getting a sore chest. I got worse (I was at home in bed) and was admitted to hospital Sunday as my heart rate was far too high due to lack of oxygen. An xray showed a nasty infection in both lungs. The long and short of it was 3 days in hospital.
I already had an appointment with my rheumatologist today, so my husband dragged me to see him. The rheumy had been away and hadn't been aware that my GP had allowed me to go back to work, albeit on a gradual return. He was very unhappy about that, as he said he had told her that I should not return until I was on a stable dose of Pred. I am currently on 25mg, having tried to manage the tapering myself due to useless GP. I had a good discussion with rheumy about tapering by 2.5mg only over a period of time.
He has now signed me off for a minimum of a month. Of course, the lung infection needs time to clear up as well.
My husband then did what I should have done myself at the beginning of my GCA journey and called the doctors surgery and told them that I need to be under an experienced senior GP from now on as the GP I have been under has been incompetent and this is the last in a series of errors she has made which could have had serious repercussions on my health.
Tomorrow I will call the surgery to see one of the senior partners who is well regarded. I can then hopefully begin to feel I am in safe hands.
I'm feeling really rough, the infection and the double dose of antibiotics are taking their toll, but at least I feel optimistic that with the change in GP, I will be in better hands.
I'm 31, male, and up until monday i hadn't had the urge to poop. Finally when it came on monday night it was much to big and was hurting very badly when trying to push it out.
Since then i have tried everything. Suppositories, stool softener in pill form, miralax, and now my anus is extremely sore and hurts and im getting stomach pain and it hurts to sit down because of all the pressure in my colon.
I also did try using a medical glove and vaseline and breaking it apart. Got some out but it's still in there.
At this point i don't know what else there is to do. Should i go to the er? I'm feeling that's the only option left.
I was to get pregnant for 2 months, i am in my 2nd on my femara, and now i have some changes like back pain, sore nipple, lower stomach pain, i was still waiting for my period to come.. Am i pregnant?

View 58 RepliesI'm 38 year old female. Back in June I noticed what I would call a sore spot on chest muscle. I spend a great deal of time with rounded shoulders looking down at phone. I don't really feel it so much if I am up moving around. Feel it more sitting if I'm on my phone a lot or in the bed I'm a side sleeper. I can feel it sometimes with a deep breath or cough. Some days I don't feel it at all. Ibuprofen takes the pain away. My chiropractor feels it from my rounded shoulders. Stretching it out helps some to. Is it normal to have chest soreness for 4 months. This is right sided and does not feel at all to have anything to do with my heart.

View 4 RepliesI have been suffering for months now with a bright red nose more to the sides and more on the side where I used to have a piercing. It always looks red raw and appears like the skin never heals and seems bumpy. It's constantly a combination of oily and dry flakes but these are really visible and make it look awful. I was diagnosed with acne rosacea 2 years ago as always have flushed cheeks and the doctor prescribed me metronidazole cream but this does not seem to help at all on my nose area?I have tried all types of different creams from rosacea creams to Have enough dry skin but get married next year and getting to my wits end now as even putting makeup on it looks flaky.
View 1 RepliesI am experiencing the sensation of food being stuck in the throat/chest, as if you swallowed a large pill and it is resting there. I have had acid reflux issues and take Zantac for it (previously Prilosec) and neither of them helped much. It's difficult to swallow and I also feel like I need to burp to relieve some pressure build-up in my throat/chest.
I woke up out of sleep last night and felt this sensation severely along with stabbing pain in my upper abdomen the radiated up to my chest. There's dull pain in my lower back as well along with nausea, trouble getting a full breath. It's extremely uncomfortable and concerning. It seems to hurt more when lying down, but I feel it when I'm upright too.
I'm waiting on a referral to see a Gastroenterologist to discuss my very extensive list of symptoms.
I understand that it anxiety could add to the pains I'm feeling, and I do have extreme anxiety when it comes to my health, but what I'm worried about is that I woke up out of my sleep with this pain to where it can't be directly caused by anxiety. I've been to the hospital for chest pains a couple of occasions and they ruled out everything but anxiety. So trust me, I know what anxiety can do.
So spent night in hospital for chest infection on Tuesday night. Been on 50mg steroids and 500 mg Co amoxiclav three times a day.
Pulled my back muscles coughing yesterday so taking diazepam as doctor prescribed for it as asthmatic so can't take ibuprofen.
However today when woke up my lower right lung area is swollen and have acute sharp stabbing pain when cough and constant pain which is dull. Anyone any idea what it is? I'm wondering if diaphragm or maybe need to see doctor for 3rd day this week.
I'm 29, mostly healthy, unfortunately I'm a cigarette smoker but I am a hypochondriac and suffer from bad anxiety. The past 6 weeks have been tough. I just recently got off Xanax after 5 weeks of daily use for panic attacks and sleep. I was taking about .25 to .5 a night. Quit last Tuesday only withdrawal symptoms was insomnia and a little night sweats. Head feels a lot clearer and I feel better. I'm now taking lexapro which I've now been on for 3 weeks. I do feel it's helping a bit and I also up the dosage from 5mg to 10mg. I'm taking trazodone for sleep also. But In the past 2 weeks I have been getting some chest cramping. Tightness in the center of my breasts, little pains here and there but I can't figure out if it's heartburn, acid indigestion, or what it can be. I know anxiety can give u tightness in the chest which I have felt many times but the cramping and tightness freaks me out! The hypochondriac part of me keeps thinking I'm having lung issues or heart issues. It's like if it ain't one thing it's another with me. And I hate it. Does anyone have anything like that from meds? I need some reassurance. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow to make sure it's just from the meds.
View 3 RepliesI'm 60, had asthma for just over 3 years, which started after a persistent bout of bronchitis. I take Seretide twice daily. I try to run regularly when I'm able, but I'm never quite sure how I should respond at the onset of normal cold symptoms. Once I have any degree of cold infection, I regularly experience chest tightness and discomfort immediately, almost before any cold symptoms have established. I'm not really sure what the best strategy is to get rid of the chest tightness, prevent the cold developing and enable me to continue exercising. I try increasing my inhaler dose, take extra vitC, etc but without great success. I'd really value hearing how others deal with this, is it just a case of putting up with it, or should I be able to nip it in the bud?

View 4 RepliesI have TN on both sides which was cause by hospital dental work (i still need some teeth pulling) someone has just upset me so much.
They said that because i have it both sides that an MVD operation would not work as there is a compression of the nerve and this is much less likely to be the cause of bilateral TN.

'm so upset i just don't know what to do apart from ending my life, that's the only way out from this.
