Hope you find answers @greff. Fingers crossed.
@greff- Best of luck on Friday! I'll be thinking about you! Scar tissue is a huge problem. I've had a lot of operations and illnesses and sometimes I think that scar tissue is the only thing that is holding me together. I have scars from when I was 7 years old when I had my appendix out.
@greff I have always felt it is my diaphragm. The only problem all the doctors I have seen in the past 30 years always try to test for asthma disorders. Because it is intermittent I have had difficulty getting in to a doctor when I am having episodes. I have no GI symptoms. I can eat the hottest, spiciest food around with no reflux. I lay on my right side normally. It is exhausting to go through it day after day, but after 30 years I have learned to live with it. I take shallower breaths and when I need a deeper breath I yawn. I have had multiple chest xrays. I've had chest MRI's. I am a breast cancer survivor of 15 years. This was on going before my cancer so it's not from having chemo or radiation. I just don't get it why someone out there hasn't had a diagnosis to relate to this problem.
Try using flagyl every 6hrs for five days and see the outcome.
I think this problem is linked to bacteria or parasites from the lower respiratory tracts to the stomach and intestines. Detoxifying my body with flagyl did the magic.
