RE: The pain that didn't go away
A little shocking, but I'm glad you're getting better! I haven't had any operations myself but I've had weird chest pains that pulsate and also spread to my throat. My family doctor told me they might be anxiety attacks but she's not sure and I haven't had them for a while now. Good luck on the op!
Do you feel like you're catching your breath? Those that spread to your throat, do you feel like you're choking or about to vomit? Those two symptoms you mentioned sound like anxiety attacks though. Take care
Well, yes, the symptoms always give me a big scare so I try breathing deep and slow to calm myself down. And it's more like putting pressure on my throat than causing me to vomit. The symptoms usually went away in 5 to 10 minutes. Felt like forever, though!
And at some period the symptoms were all different - like a wave of butterflies (not the cutesy ''in-love'' kind of butterflies) started coming from my stomach and spread upwards, and I had this weird feeling like I didn't sense reality / was losing my mind.
Sounds like anxiety attack! Sorry, that sounds terrible... I have them sometimes tho usually just comes out of nowhere. Hope you don't experience them again
They do strike you randomly! At work, at home when you're relaxing, I even had them wake me up in the middle of the night a couple of times! That felt like Hell!
I hope they stop for you too. I wouldn't wish anxiety attacks for anyone!
Thanks, hmm doesn't sound familiar to what I had, pain radiated to the back which is what made me think pancreas when googling symptoms. I'm still kind of hoping I can postpone the operation and just eat healthy until it seems like a better time to do it but let's see how things develop.
Try some CBD oil, might help with anxiety and various other things if you've never tried it.
Thanks, I've thought of it but haven't tried CBD oil yet. But I will!
