I am a guy.
I have a swollen abdomen (distended) and very sensitive to the touch. I also have pain on the left side of my chest, left shoulder and arm. I also have this area around the left shoulder blade (about halfway down) that seems to be in a knot most of the time. (I have my wife beat me up there for releif) I feel like there is an empty hole right under my rib cage. I try to eat or drink something to ease the discomfort, to no avail. I end up bloating again.
I also have periods (very few and very short) of disorientation. for no reason I can think of, my head will swim.
I have had a cardiac catheterization and the cardiologist found 30% right and 40% left blockage. I asked him if that kind of blockage could cause my symptoms and he said:"no"
I had an upper endoscopy done; everything is nice and pink with no trace of H-pylori.
I have had 2 ultrasounds on my gall bladder and the second revealed stones.
I am still in turmoil. I am awaiting surgery, but my day to day life sucks.

some of the other things are: hot flashes. There are time when it seems I will never be able to cool down. Even when standing in front of an AC unit, I can not cool down.
I tend to feel extremely tired. I will be walking along and all of a sudden, I can barely stand. My eyes feel like they have sand in them. After an short time, it passes.
I do not drink (one beer in 6 months)
I used to smoke cigarettes but quit April 22 2006 (right before the cardiac cath)

If you have similar symptoms, or can give me advice, I am all ears...

I am a gal with similar symptoms. I have abdominal bloating with pain. Occassional chest pain and that same annoying knot in the middle of my left shoulder blade. I've been diagnosed with ulcers, Celiac Disease and endometriosis but, no solutions. Have you had any relief? I see a new specialist in 2 weeks. I can keep you posted...

I have nearly the exact symptoms as you, down to the knots in my left shoulder blade area. I know it has been quite awhile since your post but I am hoping you have had a diagnosis and appropriate treatment that you can share. I am very interested to find out what you have since found out. thanks!
