Please help. So much pain.

Posted by hia @lilylite122, Nov 23, 2018

Hi, I'm Lily. My pain all started on October 1st 2018. I got a throbbing pain in my toe. It hurt, it didn't hurt, it hurt, it didn't hurt. That when on forever. Then suddenly I got a chill through my body and felt the urge to get up and go to the bathroom. I had never ever in my whole life ever felt this before. The next day I started having trouble breathing. Whenever I thought about my breathing it got tougher and tougher to breath in and out. This all kept happening in misery as new symptoms kept adding on every day. I started to have food not want to go down my throat. Whenever I drank it came back up. I started to feel like sometime my heart skipped a beat. There's also random stabbing pains everywhere. All this pain and misery makes me week. So far I think I'm dying. Symptoms have only gotten worse and I want to get to the bottom of this until it's too late. Anyone know what it might be? Thank you.

Hi Lily,
Have you been to see a doctor about the pain and symptoms you're having? May I ask how old you are?

Hello, I actually forgot to mention that this is what my daughter wanted me to write for her. She's 11 and yes we've been to the doctor. They said she was healthy and they didn't know why she has the symptoms she does. I'm worried about her. She says she's never felt so much pain like it before.

Hi Lily- sorry to hear you are having so much pain. 🙁 What did your doctor suggest you do? Until you figure out what the pain is, maybe meditation would be something to learn and keep your mind off of it when it's really bad?

Is your doctor going to run any tests for your swallowing?

They suggested just to take it easy. And I forgot to mention that sometimes I also feel like I have something stuck in my throat. But the thing that bothers me the most is the feeling that sometimes my heart is skipping a beat.

hmm. I don't have a medical degree and am not allowed to give medical advice but I would think that your physician would want to do a scan or ultrasound or something to look at your heart.
I've also heard about people that feel like something is stuck in their throat- I think it's called globus sensation. Also, here is a link to some more information on swallowing. Take a look: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dysphagia/symptoms-causes/syc-20372028
