Chest Pain! Ed Trip! Ouch!

[Kiloalphatango 13]

So this morning, I'm at my local market with my little stall set up - all is good in the world!

Then BAM, insane chest pain and both collarbones are screaming at me! So i get up and walk around thinking its just the gas pain everyone is talking about (I'm almost 3 weeks out, no pain or drama until now).

After 30mins of walking around (super slow), can't hold a sentence - can't breathe- extremely shallow and wow it hurts! Collarbone pain gone.

Make a few calls to my doctor friends, told to go to ED right now.

In ED, start to get better (awkward when i was reading out my phone number - 0 breath 4 breath 1 breath lol) saw doc, saw another doc, took liquid panadol, get pushed to chest X-rays - all clear!

What the!

This was 12 hours ago, can still feel the pain! No where near as bad, but its there!

I have to go back straight away if any more dramas and they will do a scan incase its a clot

Has anyone else had anything like this?

My BP and O2 levels were fine as well, I've stopped my daily clexane shots (to avoid blood clots) and still taking somac (anti reflux meds).

Do you still have your gallbladder?

[Kiloalphatango 13]

Yep! Everything in tact - surgery went as planned & no dramas at all with it (easy mushies, easy liquids, walking, no pain meds etc)

The reason I ask is because sometimes gallbladder attacks can mimic pain similiar to what you're describing, and the pain usually subsides, until the next gallbladder attack. I'm surprised the ER doc didn't work you up for a gallbladder attack after ruling out the serious stuff. Gallbladder problems are very common in people after weight loss surgery. If you're worried, you could ask your PCP to order a gallbladder ultrasound or a HIDA scan. These tests could show if it's a gallbladder problem. Good Luck to you.

Ahhh perfect! That's really good to know I'll talk to PCP tomorrow just to be safe!

Thanks for your help!

That's enough to scare the pant off someone! Hope you don't have anymore episodes like that one.
