I had an ECHO done a couple of weeks ago and I was told I have a healthy heart. I was very happy about that.
I am on antibiotics and since I have been on them I have been experiencing air hunger, miserably and also I have a weak chest wall so it makes it even harder to breath plus I have "electric" pains going through my chest. I have had these symptoms before when I had a terrible herx a couple of years ago.
Sometimes feeling like this makes me want to take myself to the ER.
Can anyone relate?

Yes completely.
More detail in your last post.
From todays air hunger I fully expect to have costo-type chest pain tomorrow.
Sorry you are going through this also.
We can lean on each other. I feel like I am suffocating, like my lungs aren't expanding enough for enough air to get in.
Do you have someone with you?
Have you tried laying out with your arms out? It seems to help me.
If you faint or lose consciousness, yes go to the ER.
An echo only picks up what is there at the time. Lyme messes up the Q4 intervals of our hearts.

HI Greta, It was good to hear from you. That I am not alone. Yes, I do have someone with me. Yes, I do feel like I am suffocating and that makes me panicky. I will try to do the laying down thing and see if it helps.
God Bless you as you go through this journey.

Campermom, that sounds awful.
What drugs are you taking?
Posted by GretaM (Member # 40917) on :
Right back at you campermom.
I feel better, I don't feel so alone.
Hugs to you. I hope you are OK.
Greta

I used to have those exact same pains. I don't know what it was. I suspect babs or parasites. It really is hard to tell. It could be a combo of them and lyme (not sure).

Babs, with the air hunger and costochondritis.
It gets better, but it sucks while you go through it.
You must detox. Babs makes neurotoxins like crazy.
Silver hit Babs for me. Maybe lower your dose if the herxing is too much.
Posted by Judie (Member # 38323) on :
Sounds like babs to me too. The chest stuff was definitely that. I had it for months until the doc did a trial of malarone.
I'm also allergic to silver so for me that could be the issue those symptoms too.
