Does anyone experience chest pains upon standing or while sleeping I know I am very constipated i don't know if it's related Matia doesn't answer me about it. I have a hard time breathing and it's not like my heart beats fast it's just hard and i have a difficult time breathing. Sometimes I get this buble type feeling in my chest way up high and then i can't breathe. Just wondering if anyone experiences this or do i need to force myself to venture to a dr.
chest
Have you ever had heart palpitations because that can feel like bubbling and take your breathe away a little. I have a heart murmur and have had lots of palpitations. It is not dangerous. I have had it checked many times. Before I was diagnosed with IC I had a really bad episode. This has been much better as I have got my body healthier. If you feel concerned it might be worthwhile checking with a Doctor just to rule out anything.
i have been dealing with some
i have been dealing with some agoraphobia this yr. It's been getting better like I haven't had a panic attack in a month I usually get them around my period only. but this is like while I am eating or resting sleeping not even thinking about anything. I have only gotten better with my phobia in leaving the house to take walks and I still have problems with that.Recently I have really wanted to go out but I just don;t have the energy to push through it yet. IT's driving me mad but i guess I still have fears about it/ I am so lonly here it's just me and my boyfriend and I have held him prisioner here the whole time only letting him run erronds for short amounts of time. It makes me cry just to write this because I have never been this way and i don't know what to do with it. I don't feel like it's anxiety because its comming on when I am perfectly fine and then I do knowtice that i compound it with anxiety but the intial start up just happens. I have been wondering if there could be a coralation with my constipation? I am just so tired Matia doesn't tell me anything about it being normal or even respond to it. :(
Nicole, I can tell you that
Nicole,
I can tell you that in the years I've dealt with anxiety, I came to realize these heart symptoms for me were anxiety-related. At firstI was stymied too, as they came on at times I was perfectly fine, not feeling anxsiou. I later learned (through therapy and research)that if you're carrying around / dealing with anxiety, it can bubble up at different times that are random and unrelated to your present disposition. I too had similar heart symptoms/sensations as you're describing. Meditation and tuning into inside more has helped me.
I'm sorry to hear Matia's not responsive about it... any clue why? Doesn't sound like her.
Thank you Lisa that makes
Thank you Lisa that makes sence to me. I don't know why she doesn't answer me on why I just got an email from her to go off everything so i guess if she thought it were serious she would say.
Thanks for your support it means the world to me
Matia finally got back to me
Matia finally got back to me and told me this is common with IC because the lymph system often gets blocked in that region. It makes me feel better to have an answer. I am so glad she finally got back to me. Now I can relax about it even though it's still going on.
Hope this helps.
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better about things. It really surprises me that you didn't hear back from Matia more quickly. I have never had this happen. One thing that I think helps (and you may already do this) is that when I'm having an exchange with Matia, I change the subject line up with each reply. This way she knows it's new. She gets so many emails that I would think it would be hard for her to tell which ones she's answered. By changing it up each time, it will save her time and she can reply faster. Hope this helps you or anybody else who might read this. Tammy
chest pains
I know that when I had my appointment this week she said that she was having problems with her Blackberry and as well I think that she was busy.
Thanks Tammy I don't usually
Thanks Tammy I don't usually do that because sometimes we are back and fourth a lot and constantly changing and i write her often on my blackberry because I am in to much pain to get to the computer my little phone doesn't weigh anything. I can just type away. I do write a new email though sometimes when she takes a long time getting back and it's not like her. I will start over new subject and everything. Sometimes My emails to get jumbled up and I think ther eis confusion I may add the date or time in with the subject. I am sure that will only help me when archiving my emails.
new thought
Maybe it would work even better to just add "update", "update #2, etc. on the subject line after the original title. That way it would be easier for Matia to know at a glance that it's a new email and we could archive them more logically. What do you think? It was great chatting with you last night. You have a wealth of knowledge and experience. I'm continually learning from you. Thanks, Tammy
Still having these chest pains
It's getting scary,
I just started my cycle I don't know if it's related or not. I decided to make an exta apt with Matia just to ease my Mind about it but I don't talk to her till Friday. I hate not being able to breath its so scary. I know I talked to one of you about it during the meeting but I can't remeber who it was can you contact me via cause I just need someone to ease my mind about it more.Thanks Nicole

lymphatic system/depressed
Matia told me my lymphatic system is not moving well and she needed to give me tonics to get this moving to inprove. i hope she can find something soon it's been really hard to sleep. She said its not sounding like anxiety but my anxiety will make it worse. I have not been able to get out for my walks I am so depressed because when i do walk even just a little it gets worse. I try to do the yoga too and most of them are bad too. I have to take i really light and slow. Then i don't sleep because i don't talk to anyone or do anything. It's very depressing. I am so depressed.
