I'm not sure, but my spine doctor thinks that's what it is. For the past two weeks I thought it was my heart. Its very frightening and at times I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.
This is very new for me and I'm scared. I've been sick over 20 years and never experienced this before. I have it at the moment and I feel really panicky. Stress obviously makes it worse because my heat intolerance is double in intensity from the stress of this new condition. Unless that's the norm? This is too much.
It starts in the center of my chest right below my breasts (guessing it's diaphragm?) and I feel like my chest is being crushed. I'm suffocating. Almost knife-like dead center chest and some times it goes up to my throat and even face.
It wraps around my chest and around my back and it has a constant grip on me. There's a burning in my face at times, too. I have severe heat intolerance and my face turns bright red from being so hot and I'm dripping sweat at the moment.
Laying flat is the absolute worst. I have to turn over, sit up in bed and/or put my head out the window for cold air. My window is right by my bedside. Squeezing, crushing my chest, ribs, whatever it is.
Is this the hug everyone talks about? Will Gabapentin help? Anything help?! I have it the pharmacy. My doctor called it in today. TIA!!
