Recently, I have been having Heart Palputations at night. I could finally be drifting off to sleep, then suddenly my Heart gives off a hard pump and wakes me up for a while. I have also been having pain in the area of my ribs, and deal with this daily. I have Winter Asthma, and recently I ve had to take the larger solution two to three times a day, and its usually because I ve been feeling weaker and numb in worrying areas, like the back of my skull, over my face, and in parts of my body. I ve delt with Acute Bronchitis recently and Acute Sinusitis, and those seemed to have gone, but my condition has gotten worse. Like, how yesterday, there was a large numbness all over most of my skull/brain, but after taking the solution, it went away and my body felt better, somewhat. This all started around a month ago, when we though it was just a cold or the flu. Then in the second week, I got Bronchitis and all those other things, the third week Ibwas getting better then had to go to the ER, and now its the fourth week and Im getting worse... I think my body isn t generating enough blood, and my body makes me take the solution to help my heart pump and send out more blood throughout my body. I have been taking 2 peptobismo chewbles a day, one in the morning, one at night, to help with acid reflux, and three Bayer s chewable asprins everynight, to help with rib and heart pain, and it worked for a while, but now its just nothing. I have also been getting ice cold on the inside, but hot on the outside. Breathing is so-so but its alright, but the pain in my ribs and heart hurt horribly everyday multiple times a day. I have also been somewhat stressing and may be gaining anxiety recently from all this, as I have never been sick this badly, so it s all new to me, and I had to go to the ER from an allergic reaction to a type of penicillin a week and two days ago, and this severe pain only started recently, on Jan. 29. The ER had given me Benadryl and a Cortiosteriod (May have miss spelt that) when I was there, and gave me more benadryl Take for 10 days as needed for allergy symptoms and I don t know if it meant I had to take them for 10 days, or when I had allergy symptoms. They gave me some more cortiosteroids to take two days after on Jan. 28. I did, and had a horrible pain attack that night, so I set up an appointment with my doctor on the 29. I went, and he ignored basically everything pain wise and didn t know about anything that was happening. In the car, the entire roof of my mouth was blue. Its been getting better from that, but its still slightly blue down the middle. I did a few errands, and by the time I got home, I was in so much pain, and then proceeded to have an asthma attack. Then ever since then, I had to take the solution once everyday, and the last 2-3 days I have had to take it more than one, ranging from twice to three times. I have tried exercising the past three/four days, where I go outside for a few minutes (5-10, really) and that really makes me feel better, but it always causes me to need the solution an hour or two afterwards. I also believe I am loosing large amounts of weight, which is slightly terrifying to me. I weighed myself early and as my normal weight was 180lbs before all this (The sickness has been going on for over a month now.) and I was 165lbs. I drink around 2-3 bottles of water a day, eat soup, a turkey and cheese sandwhich, some eggs and swiss cheese scrambled together with a tortillia and then bananas. Since I ve been having acid reflux, I stop eating large solid foods at 7pm, and stop eating in general and getting ready for bed around 10pm, but if I do feel extremely hungry (Which I ve been having problems with recently aswell) I eat a banana or some crackers. (Very few though, as I had a horrible reaction with acid reflux recently (When the heart palputations started, really) and thats also when I started getting really sicker and was pale yesterday,and in so much pain I almost fainted. I am going to go to the Doctor s in a few minutes today actually, and we re going to see what he says, maybe do an x-ray to see if I broke a rib, a blood test, to see if I have anything, like cancer, or low blood sugar/ High blood pressure/ anemia. So, If you nees to know anything more, tell me in the email or whatever you are going to send me, and I ll tell you and what the doctor will say.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should first be relaxed and calm. Get done ECG, chest x and 2d echo to rule out heart and lung diseases. If all these are normal then no need to worry about major diseases. You all symptoms are mostly due to stress and anxiety related HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of chest pain, burning, chest pressure, tightness etc. HERD can also worsen asthma and bronchitis. So we should first control your stress and anxiety to control your HERD. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic
