Feeling out of control and can’t breathe or sleep

[Tricia75]

I am just now testing what we thought was for gallstones. The pain started in the upper center of my stomach but when the doctor pressed on my gallbladder and liver area it hurt there too. Ultrasound and CT scans were done and all looks normal except I have a fatty liver on the ultrasound but somehow was normal on the CT scan. Blood showed low albumin and high globulin. Everything else was fine. My pain doesn’t go away so they do more blood tests and my blood looks much bytes and they do another ultrasound and it says enlarged liver. 3 weeks into this I keep having pain so I go to the ER last night and my albumin is low again and I have u bilirubin in my urine - moderate. I go to the specialist on Tuesday. She was thinking it may be an ulcer and sent me H Pylori testing but that was negative. I’m so scared. Now I’ll be doing an endoscopy to find out what this could be. Points to liver right? My AST and ALT have remained normal. I do have a urinary tract infection also. I can’t sleep. When I do drift off I’m jolted awake. My chest feels quivery inside. In the ER my heart rate kept setting off the alarm because it would go below 50.

Please give me some advice. I’m losing it!

There is no comment I can make on the symptoms or tests but I can tell your anxiety is making everything worse.

You have to trust the Doctor and take it one step at a time and don’t panic until you have a confirmed reason to so.

If it was super-serious you would have been kept in or found something out x

Thank you! I wish i wasn’t a worrier.

I am praying!

Do you think me falling asleep and being jolted awake is from anxiety and stress?

Ermmm, only like 1000%

the doctor on not finding any stones surely would have told you that they may have passed (you haven’t mentioned if you’d been told this) ... the pain you describe does suggest stones (hence the scan) .

I hate when people tell me not to worry as we all know it doesn’t help .

Remember also the advice you get on this site is not from medical professionals ,

The dr didn’t say whether I could have passed a stone. The pain was also in between my shoulder blades. I forgot to mention that. It was pain in my stomach and back at the same time. That has gone away pretty much but my poop is s till yellow and my numbers were off. I go to the specialist tomorrow.
