Now I know you guys shouldnt give a crap about anybody on this board and I know that but I just thought I would share something human and maybe gets some feedback.

I was watching trl when I felt a pain in my back. not an ache but something stabbing. so i lay on the floor to try and get some relief and nothing helps. It doesn't seem like a sore muscle or something.

Then I feel tightness on my upper torso. It feels like something is holding me tight and it hurts constantly like constant pressure. So its not some lingering ache or caused from something I did with weights or some crap. I even took a dump yesterday and today.

Well in a couple minutes the pain intensifies to where I have to get up. Not the kind of thing you put up with and lay still cause something was attacking me. I got very week, my heart was pounding very fast and felt heavy. No position helped, sitting, laying down, bending over, or even taking a hot bath.

Like a psycho i was sliterhing around the house very agitated and my extremities were tingling and shaking. I could not stand up straight at all and the constant pain hurt like nothing else I have ever felt. Then it started affecting my breathing. I had to physically really push to get air in and out and was punished by the constriction every time. I started preying to god and flopping all over the place in disbelief that I was sick.

Well I finally got dressed and went downstairs and yelled to my grandma to call 911 and nobody is taking me anywhere. I was at my limit and felt like I might not be able to take another breath at any time. I just had to do it and it lasted too long.

I was sweating like crazy and then they got here in minutes in a fire truck and ambulance with like 5 guys. They poked around, hooked me up to a heart thing and only concluded that they didn't see that my heart was jacked. I told them of my history of not seeing doctors for a long time and haven't got a checkup while losing over 110 lbs over the last year on my own. im 25 years old. I had to sign a piece of paper saying I was ok with them leaving me instead of taking me to a hospital. Because everything subdued except some aching after they hooked me up to oxygen and were their for a few minutes.

Well i must admit im a dumb ass because i hate doctors and alhtough i lost the weight I have some new lingering health concerns that I need to get checked out but i make excuses cause im embarassed.

So in closing im going to a family refered doctor within a week to spill my guts and see whats up.


Has anybody here ever experienced something like this? Im cool with pain but not breathing that is really bad. And I probably wasted a $g or whatever they will charge me for them to come out like that but whatever when you feel that bad you need help. I was freaking out.

That is horrible!!!!!!! Sounds like a heart related issue that could be very serious!! You should have gone to the hospital for your own peace of mind!!!!!!!!! It is possible you had a panic attack too but you need to take care of yourself!!!!!!!!

Please take care and if it happens again GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, assuming the doctors didn't come and you couldn't start breathing normally, you could've fell into unconsciousness and/or died. I would suggest going soon, before you end up alone and in the same condition.

If something like that happened to me, I wouldn't wait one second. I'd go to the hospital. You may not be able to call for help next time before it's too late.

That's pretty scary stuff.


I hope it's nothing serious, and that you're tip top shape soon.

Definately see a doctor.. Whenever I've felt my worse, there is always no place I'd rather be than a 21st century hospital. They definately know what they're doing.

Please see a doctor - he most likely won't be that crazy...

My uncle is a large man and would NEVER go to the doctor. He got sick one time, thought he had the flu, but it ended up lasting months. He looked horrible and still never went to the doctor. At this same time, my grandmother, his mother, had fallen ill to what eventually killed her and he lived with her. It was not a good environment for either one of them. Whatever my grandmother had gave her a slow heart failure that eventually caused her death. He developed a similar deal. He finally went to the hospital and they told him that his heart was in REALLY bad shape and that he's in a lot of trouble. He stayed at the hospital for a while and they eventually released him. He has since lost A LOT of weight and started eating right. He sees a doctor regularly and has pretty much rebuilt his heart. He's healthy like an ox, although still pretty overweight. He's much happier and very much regrets not seeing a doctor. I hope you take something with this story. At least see a doctor.

My mom had the same thing happen to her about 4 years ago.....a nerve in her spinal cord got pinched or something to that effect, and it told her heart to beat really fast.
We took her to a hospital and she was fine later that night.

I don't remember if she said it hurt or anything....

GL!

don't be silly... go see a doctor ASAP... if money is an issue... go to a county hospital... I dunno if yer in LA, if you are head down to UCLA Harbor General, they have amongst the best doctors you can find anywhere.

I don't think anyone is qualifid enough to make a diagnosis through your descriptions...

go see the doctor... it could be nothing, probably isn't, but it's good to be safe nonetheless...

so don't waste time... doctor tomorrow... okay?

Congrats on the weight loss (oops, hopefully you lost it for a good reason). But dude, you should really get to a doctor. Dropping that much weight requires some type of monitoring of your general health.

Take care man!

People care here guy. And like a few others have said you really should go get checked out. Get a little blood work done. Sometimes when push the body which sounds like what you have done, you can over do it. Now just do the right thing and go to the doctor. Then you can fully enjoy your weight loss in a healthy way.

I told them of my history of not seeing doctors for a long time and haven't got a checkup while losing over 110 lbs over the last year on my own.

Wow. That's great. A huge accomplishment...

Right now you need to see a doctor but in the long run you need to find one you can talk to comfortably. My doctor is the father of one of my friends, really nice guy and we talk sports and cars during the checkups. You're probably right, you'll find a doctor you can get along with better at family practice.

Oh, I can relate a bit. For years I avoided going to the doctor's and ended up in the ER because I put off going too long. Once it almost killed me (really bad allergic reaction). Don't be afraid to go talk it over with a doctor. You may be uncomfortable for a little bit but it will allow you to live more comfortably for a long time.

Oh, and the way it sounds, you had a cardiac problem (maybe even a tiny heart attack) or a pulmonary problem. Neither of which you want to mess with, you want to find out what's going on.

Ok heres the update. After what happened yesterday and fearing for my life for the first time I was gonna put it off like I had been for a year now but then my family started screaming at me and I realized I must put my fears aside and go. So today I did a walk in at a family recommended practice/urgent care center. Somebody my uncle has used for his family for over 10 years. So the crudentials are their.

Filled out the paperwork and was a little nervous but was first in line for the day and got in their within 10 minutes. Their was allot of waiting as the doctor shifted around rooms. Basically we talked a little and they checked my lungs and blood pressure and did an ekg. I don't have exeperience with this stuff but he clearly knew I had not been to a doctor in over 10 years and I lost a bunch of weight and wanted to get checked up. I don't know what to ask for but assume they would do the right thing.

Anyway everything came back fine. They said my heart and lungs are in perfect shape and I did a great job with such weight loss. Then we started talking about diet and in general what I had done and only said a diet lacking in something could have caused the temporary symptoms I felt. He says take some multivitamin, allot of c, and eat allot of beans and to up the protien intake daily.

Now comes some history on other health issues that were bothering me about 2 months after I started dieting til present. Skin problems. zit like breakouts on arms which eventually spread all over. Persistant constant little zits that never went away. I was never in pain but skin problems are terrible cause they make you look like a freak. I also left them alone just keeping clean, etc. but then early this year my face started breaking out like crazy. Hmm acne now when I never had an issue with it? Over the counter stuff never helped so I specifically wanted to get help with this visit for that also.

He also stated again that this nasty breakout was due to diet and probably not enough protien. My extreme cold turkey diet that lasted for so long probably dealt a blow to my immune system and metabolism. Great im an idiot for not getting checked out and losing weight. I never thought the 2 could have anything to do with each other but he says so.

NOW HERES WHERE I GET PIST OFF

Im talking with this guy about my problems and wanting to get help for my skin. Its not right to have lesions all over somebodys body. Im finally in here and I want help. He doesn't even look at my skin up close for 20 seconds. I had to wait til he came back in once and take my pants off so he could see my legs, etc. I may not be a doctor but just by sight he could conclude such things? I asked what I can get for my skin that I wanted something and he said NOTHING COULD HELP, DO WHAT HE SAID WITH DIET AND VITAMINS, AND USE ONLY DOVE SOAP ALL OVER FOR 2 WEEKS AND IT SHOULD CLEAR UP AND TO CALL HIM.

So I finally make it into a doctor and now question this guy big time. Great My heart and stuff checks out but how about a general checkup? For example should they weight me? Check my package and behind? What about blood work to see if Im short on something or if some organs aren't working? Im not a doctor so I don't know but jesus now im left with more questions than answers. Great im not dying BUT WHY THE HELL CAN'T THEY GIVE ME SOME MEDICINE FOR MY SKIN AND ACNE? THAT IS BULLCRAP!

So do I do exactly as he asks which I have done before for longer periods on my own and nothing ever changed and I told him this and left when he refused to give me anything. Then if it doesn't get better pay for another visit and insist to help me or refer me out?

OR do I just go to a qualified dermatologist and say I was cleared in good health by the doctor and dentist and try and treat the skin issues directly?
-----------------
by the way thanks all. I feel like such a dumb ass when it comes to this stuff but what can I say I didn't grow up in the family that went to doctors. I have no self esteem from the weight issues and that almost under control but then I linger with my plans to fix that up and get seen for an opinion when I needed to get my health in check. Yes I am that pitiful that I tremble in social situations cause I haven't come out from my shell. I tried to lose the weight then my skin started screwing up damnit!

You should take a cab to the Emergency Room. Now. Tell them what happened, the price of insurance or out of pocket for an EKG is much less the worth of your life.

I've had gas/stomach cramps that have put me on the floor in pain. No kidding! Kinda sounds like a heart-attack, you wouldn't typing here if that were the case. Are you diabetic? Seizure?
