Hello.
I am a 26 year old Female. For the past 10 years, I have been experiencing a dull tight pain in my stomach, right in the middle and when I try to take a deep breathe I cannot fulfill it. I burp and yawn constantly. This then causes me to have anxiety. I thought I was getting panic attacks , but the main symptoms are not being able to fulfill a deep breathe and stomach tightness??? I have no clue what it could be, but I cannot live like this anymore. I cannot go out with my friends cause I get so nervous that I cannot breathe. I have had several endoscopys and a Upper GI back in 2004 - 2005, but nothing!!! Someone help me!!!!! |

i am a 36 yr old male and have suffered the same symptoms as you since i was a kid. Every time i eat, my stomach gets bloated which makes it hard to get a deep breath. it feels as if i am overheated when in reality i'm not. these symptoms get worse when i am in a restaurant which is warm inside or when i am in a warm room after i eat.
i have gone to the doctor and have had test taken but the results are always negative. sometimes it feels as if my bloated stomach is squeezing my organs and that is what is causing the uncomfortable sensation that casues me to have what feels like a panic attack. It has gotten to the point that when i go out with friends and family i do not eat and rarely do i drink liquids unless i am at home.
I also do not have answers for what is causing this. sometimes i think it all in my head. |

To the original poster, i have the same problem!! Stomach feels tight and/or so full of air that i cant take a deep breathe... then i get scared and start open-mouth breathing... gasping at times... can hardly talk because im trying so hard to breathe.... I already knoiw I have GERD and Gastroparesis (Stomach disorder) and get bouts of gastritits....
I am seeing my gastro doctor tomorrow because like u, I cant live like this, i am at the point where i am in bed all weekend (this weekend) and getting afraid to go to work out of fear i will have another breathing episode. I left work early Friday to go to the ER... ER did blood, urine and chest x ray and they said all was fine, i looked "good on paper." And they sent me home. THe only thing that helped this was taking 1 mg. of klonopin (mild tranquilier and anti-anxiety medication).
I am lving in fear now and the suffering is pretty bad. I feel like i have to fight to get a deep breathe and even then, i cant get one. I admit i have a history of anixety disorders but i dont like to tell a doctor that cuz i will be immediately dismissed.
I am surprised your endscopy and upper GI series showed nothing.... i GUESS this can be anxiety... i hate to say anxiedty because it sounds like "oh, JUST anxiety" when really the suffering from this is incredible.. I am afraid i will have to give up my job and i hate the idea of taking anti anxiety med just to be able to breathe. Something is triggering this to happen, it isnt "just happening." |
