is it possible that the tummy thing is causing the chest muscle thing. Either as referred pain or because you’re fighting to keep the tummy from bothering you and straining the muscles? the chest pain of costochondritis can be very scary too. and i made mine a lot worse by trying to "hold" my back a certain way to prevent the pain. I hope that’s all this is – ’cause if so then it’s a matter of coping and maybe anti-inflammatory but no danger. >Hope you all are ok, and I will read tomorrow and catch up the best I >can..
don’t worry about that – just take care of you! k

Hi Sarge, Have a talk with your chest and tell it to knock off all the stuff it has been handing you lately. I imagine how scary it was when you were just sitting there relaxing. Were you wearing a bra? Sometimes going bra-less makes breathing easier. I’m having my echo cardiogram and stress test next week. All the time I walk I will be sending you best wishes. Wish you were writing about going out in a camper instead of the ER.

Hi Janers, that surgery can cause or make reflux worse http://www.ssat.com/guidelines/achalasia.htm are you sleeping with the head of your bed elevated? Still on proton pump or gastric pump inhibitors? J

Please take care of yourself. We do need you around here! I remember how scarey it was when my dad had chest pains so many years ago. Everything came to a screeching halt.

Good grief, I hope you are getting stronger. No more ambulance rides for a while please. I know they are exciting, but sounds pretty scary to me. Go rest, and get better soon. Wende "Wes Johnston" <wesle…@msn.com> wrote in message

Hi Janers, Didn’t your Mom ever tell you that if you play with strange elephants, you risk getting squashed? Well, at least you won’t need rabies shots for that. <g> Seriously, I hope this will be the last of your problems. You have been through quite enough. Keep us updated and be well.

Well well, I am finally able to say HELLO people. I had a scare sunday. Had chest pain and felt like an elephant was sitting there relaxing. I had an irregular heart rate on and off all afternoon sunday. But disregarded it until that elephant sat down. Went for a ride in an ambulance after some nitro under the tongue and ended up on nitro drip and admitted. They even gave me a drug for heart burn IV because I had just had the achalasia ballon done. After all was done and blood tests and stuff came back normal with no heart damage, well I was happy. I was still on nitro drip and heparin to keep my blood thin. Doc think that a change in heart meds and bp meds were in order, since the heart rhythm is nothing to hurt you just damn scarey. She did say there was a drug for that but IF given as some very nasty bad side effects and did not want that. Hell me neither. So she put me on a heart rate regulator and more nitro to move the food down the sluggish esophagus. We discussed that this maybe due to the MCTD but NO one wants to put a blanket diagnosis as to where the problem is coming from. So they treat the problem. Well this morning ready to go home Janers. yep out of bed took a bath and boom, could not breath. More tests, more IV’s and nuclear scan and stress test. I won. NO damage noted so the doc thinks indeed this maybe muscular because as I was walking the stabbing pain came back into the chest. like a knife off and on. She thinks the MCTD has either hit the above or even the lungs. I have symptoms of scleroderma so we will see. She is sending everything to my rheumy to view. I think that is it. I think that the muscle in my chest wall are just plain tight and that maybe the cause. But damn it is scarey. Makes the heart pound and pressure build. She said even if you don’t react to it yourself, your body will and that is what makes the increase in pain and heart and bp. So here we are. Popping more meds and making damn sure I take some more pain pills. This tummy thing is out of hand and now the chest mucles. I am going to put me larger electrodes on with my tens and numb the sucker LOL. I will try anything to stop having this feeling. very scarey. I had oh my, lots of messages and can not possibly get to all of you, so this is my way or doing so.. Hope you all are ok, and I will read tomorrow and catch up the best I can.. God Bless you all janers
Response:
Janers, Goodness I guess it would have been frightening! Hope that they find the right medicine to keep it under control and you out of the ambulance and hospital. Get some rest and don’t worry about catching up. You need to take care of yourself. Hugs, Sherry
