Thanks for the quick response! I will definitely be straight forward. As to what you were saying about the autonomic nervous system that totally makes sense for the palpitations and shortness of breath. Do you also have a burning or warm feeling under the sternum? My pain comes and goes a lot too. It sucks that to see all these specialist it takes weeks to get in. I am so ready to be out of pain and being uncomfortable..

Yes, I do get the pain/burning under my sternum. It radiates fiercely into my back. And it is worse after I eat or with even the mildest of exercise (and by exercise, I mean walking across the room). 🙁

I get up in the evening to urinate and I am breathing like a Mexican bull in the arena by the time I return to bed and believe me it's not for or no steps involved at all.

I find also that when I get up at night to go to the restroom, I get back in bed and my heart is racing and it is really hard to catch a breath. And yes, not because of the few steps it takes!!! It is weird that there are so many weird symptoms, yet so many of us share them. There has to be something to that I would think. If only the Dr.s would see that!!

Hi @pfpurple, was wondering if you have had the surgery for MALS?
