My Heart's Saying Something's Wrong

I had my gallbladder removed many, many years ago because it was no longer functioning. Because it was sick and diseased with no stones, it took doctors over 2 years to find my problem.

About 6 years ago I went to the ER with chest pain (center chest) following what I thought was food poisoning. Nothing wrong with my heart, so I was prescribed Nexium.

2 1/2 years ago I had a bad chemical reaction with turmeric & Nexium. Severe Reactive Gastropathy. I weaned myself off Nexium and stopped supplementing.

Fast forward to today & I'm still complaining of chest pain, but it can be anywhere. Sometimes it's pounding away in my neck. Pain under my right ribs comes and goes with a taring feeling. It's like I just hold it a bit until it subsides. At night I roll from side to side. When I'm on my right too long, I almost feel "FULL." Like I need to prop "it" up with a pillow...

So I had the Fibroscan done, no NASH, only 50% fat. Should I keep pursuing my liver & asking for a biopsy? I'm even thinking of demanding testing for cancer.

I have so many neurological signs I'm on Parkinson's meds AND IT TOOK MY JAW AND NECK PAIN AWAY!

Pulsatile tinnitus has got to be the key. It's driving me mad.

I'm still looking for answers. Can anyone relate?

Not related to liver issues, but has it been considered you may have Costochondritis, this can move around. I have this, I am on here for my husband. Some details here on this link: healthline.com/health/costo...

Thanks, Gillian! May I ask if there is something that works for a treatment for you? I'll try just about anything to see if can be alleviated. Cartiologists insist it is not my heart, and I am not short of breath...

I can only say the things that really aggravate it, its anything like when you raise your arms to a level where they are level with your shoulders so things like cleaning windows, carrying things at this height, I used a leaf blower recently and this really aggravated my body. It's important to try and not be too tight in your body so if you can do some gentle yoga stretching throughout your body every day, do not do any upper body weights and it is really important I find if you start to feel sore you try and relax and stop doing anything that irritates it further, it really is a horrible feeling thinking this is your heart and other organs. I use anti inflammatory gels and tablets, aloe vera too.

Doesn’t sound as if you’re liver is actually your main problem !!, though you still need to concentrate on your diet for a reduction of liver fat.

I feel I’d be inclined to speak with your GP regarding your Parkinson’s,

Could any of your meds be a problem

Causing you some of this pain?.

Have you been referred to the Audiologists in regards of your tinnitus ?. That alone can cause you issues with pain radiating to other areas. Maybe worth checking out.

Good luck 😉.

It happens when you stop taking Nexium that acid rebounds inside the stomach! You acid leakage place of stomach it is in the upper part of the stomach and causes gerd or false heart ache! Mine it was in the lower part of stomach and the acid once inside irritated the duodenum. You can turn on nexium and the pain will go away!
