I have had pains for over 5 years and have been able to handle them. Just this past year it has gotten worst.The pains between my ribs, on the right side, and the fever& chills, burping, my stomache is bloated and it looks like i am 6 months prego and I do not even hardly eat. I ended up in the hospital becasue I thought I was having a heart attack and they said it was my gallbladder and they shot me with demoral and advsd I get an ultrasound the next morning. I did not go because my health insurance does not kick in unitl may 01. It is bad enough my emergency bill is going to be outrageous. I have been living on mashed potatoes and water. This is the only thing that I can tolerate. You would think I would have lost weight but by the looks of my stomache you would think otherwise. Even when I drink water my stomach swells and my stomach actully never goes down. I have a BM 1 a weel and it is pale in color. I am sooooo uncomfortable and the only thing that helps is to get up and walk around. It is also hard to breathe because it feels like there are a bunch of bricks inside of me and It feels like they are laying on my heart. I also feel my heart fluttering and I know that I may be having anxiety attacks. I do not know if I should wait until the middle of may to see a DR. or if I should just go back to the E.R. that refered me to a County hospital (because I do not have insurance yet) and make them do an ultrasound right then and there.
