Small Pains In Middle Of Chest



Recommended Posts

I got a series of pulsating pains in middle of sternum area. It last about 30 seconds.

It caught me off guard a little because it is new for me. One thing I can identify is it was after i had some MIO energy this morning ( as usual did not get enough sleep- about 4.5 hours)

Do you think the is acid? I have been religiously taking a PPI since surgery almost 3 months ago.

I'm no doctor, but it almost sounds like a gallbladder attack. Check with ur pcp/surgeon just to be safe :)

Funny you say that because i have been waiting for it based on what others have posted on VST. Maybe my time has come. Darn.

Gallbladder is more to the right and radiates to the back. In the middle is your stomach. Could have been what you consumed. How severe was the pain? Gallbladder in my experience would last alot longer than 30 seconds. Could be hours of pain.

Another symptom that i did not mention is fingers become ice for about 30 minutes. From my last post above, they are just starting to warm up again. Happened the first time this am too. I called the doctor's office, but had to relay a message. Doctors are in surgery for most of the day, but do try and check messages in between.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
