i swear if it ain't one thing it's another. i'm so discouraged i could just sit down and die...really.
started with lower abdominal pain, blood in stools. so go have colonscopy and everything is ok.
do put me on levaquin which i couldn't take but i last a couple of days. then we switched over to cipro/flagyl which seemed to help.
so i'm off all abx now and doing heavy probiotics.
about a week ago i started having pain between my shoulder blades and around my right arm. then it became shortness of breath. i still have a chronic cough with no production. the pain becomes so bad i just stop.
i feel like i can't take a deep breath because my lungs won't expand. i keep gasping...
wth is going on? could the flagyl have stirred up things and i'm herxing?
i'm scared out of my mind that it's a heart problem. i don't want another appt with a doctor. my heavens, it seems i go every single bloody week and it's always the same --NORMAL...
maybe i'm obsessing.
but when it affects my heart or my breathing i just freak. with my family history, no wonder.

I keep a blood pressure monitor at home and keep an eye on my heart issues that way.. I hate going to doctors and do as much as possible at home.. Most on here are going to tell you to get checked out.

my bp is running a little high, 140's or so over 90's. heart rate tho is low. 65 to 70.
i went to my primary about a month maybe more ago with a severe back strain. i lifted eight boxes of extremely heavy tile. i thought i had dislocated my shoulder it hurt so bad.
my neck is still crunching and popping.
since that injury i just haven't been the same. it really messed up good.

Shoulder blades and shortness of breath - this is parasites. Easy to treat if you want to get better.

parasite treatment put me in full diverticulitis attack. i have to be extremely careful with anything.
when my doctor found out i had done humaworm, he said it was rubbing sandpaper on an open wound...not a good idea.

Then just treat with extremely low dose to get better - if you want to get better. Or experience another disease every day.

When you lifted the boxes of tiles, was it the right shoulder that felt dislocated? If so, then this is likely related to that strain.
If it were related to your heart, I would expect left arm pain, not right arm.
This really sounds like a strained back muscle and sore rib problem--like a broken rib or something. When you have a broken or sore rib, taking a deep breath puts pressure on the rib and causes extreme pain, so a person with a bruised or broken rib can't take deep breaths.
I don't think you have to worry about your heart at all. The breathing problem is because of rib bruising and/or a tight back muscle that won't allow the lungs to fully expand.

This will sound a little silly but it does work. Take a tennis ball and place it on your upper back and lean against a wall. Now attempt to move the ball around your back by sliding your body around the wall. By doing this you will most likely find the triggerpoint. You will know when you found it because you will have a lot of pain in that area and it may even cause the radiating pain to you chest and arm as well to come out. This is good if it does. Once you find the spot keep movig the tennis ball around it and it will release.

Yes it was the right shoulder and it made a sort of ummm popping noise. I could actually feel the shoulder bones moving. Very sfrange. As soon as it happened I felt like I had lost all the air in my lungs and I almost passed out. It hasnt been right since.

Could chiropractic help your shoulder?
Would it be possible to rife for parasites? That way you aren't putting anything hard on your gut into your system.

You can rife for parasites, but the die-off is very tough for the gut. Meds and herbs are easier as you can take small amounts. Even with a minute rife you can run into serious gut problems if you have a working frequency. Rife is not for beginners. Also the problem for Randi would be the die-off in her lungs. Rife targets the whole body.
