Hello all,
I am new to this web community, but have been dealing with MSA directly since 11/22 when it was diagnosed, and with signs pointing towards it since 1/20. My latest challenge is likely due the effects of gastroparesis, which after any eating causes me to have severe tightness in my lower central chest and upper abdomen, more rapid breathing, difficulty moving or relaxing. I am thinking this is result of eating, going to the bathroom, stress, or medication, or all of them. The tightness can last from 40 minutes to a couple of hours at a time, and is debilitating.
Has anyone experienced this phenomenon and, if so, is the anything that can be done to mitigate?
Thank you for your time!
