They couldn't find anything at the ER, making me feel rather foolish. Later it turned out to be my gallbladder.

The pain was excrutiating, and my pulmonologist had me see a cardiologist immediately. After all the tests, both were stumped and could not say what was wrong. I mentioned it to my internist several weeks later, who suggested trying to treat it as if it were an acid reflux type of thing, even though I had no reason to think that acid was the problem. She gave me a prescription for Aciphex, and I haven't had a bit of pain since. Just wanted to pass that on in case you have a recurrence, so you can mention it to your doctor!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1167317541181555482006-12-28T09:52:00.000-05:002006-12-28T09:52:00.000-05:00Hey Joe- I'm glad everything turned out okay!

So glad to hear everything is okay. <BR/><BR/>I had similar symptoms this past spring - shortness of breath, chest pain, sweating, palpitations, etc. - and after extensive testing over several weeks (they took it very seriously due to a family history of heart disease) they didn't turn up anything. <BR/><BR/>I can only conclude that it was stress - but I resisted accepting that as an explanation for a long time. I've never experienced stress in that way - even when DH was so ill a couple of years ago! Still, nothing else seems to make sense and I haven't had any symptoms since the move. What an eye opener. <BR/><BR/>And like you, even though I was happy the tests didn't turn up anything, I wasn't happy that there was no apparent explanation!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can sympathize. But maybe you need to cut back on the holiday baking! ;-)Alyshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914870543398140819noreply@blogger.com
