Beneath my breastbones there is a tightness that feels like it's choking me. It feels like a rope being tightened around the top part of my abdomen and won't let up. I haven't had any pain, nausea, or tenderness in that area. However this morning I woke up with diareha mixed with blood.

I have been having the same feeling like a rope being tightened around my waist for 4 months now, I have not had any problems with diareha. Were you able to find out what is going on? I am desparate for answers.
I have had the same feeling for 3 years with no relief from it. it is worse when i am standing and it feels like my stomach muscles are restricted when i am breathing which makes me breathless. i have had chest x rays, scans and test but nothing has shown up. my gp suggested it could be irritable bowel syndrome or anxiety but it seems to extreme to be something like that.
