It is about 3 in the morning and I haven't slept for a couple of days now because I can't lie down for an extended period of time. It started about a year ago when I noticed that if I layed down on my couch in a certain way within a few minutes I started to feel a weird pressure in my head and it fe...

Hi guys... OK so for years when I wake up in the morning or when I get up from laying down on my back for a while and take a deep breath I have this sensation of pressure in my chest/stomach area. It feels like something is pushing against something else when I breath deeply, but it only happens wit...

I have been seeing this person for about a year now. It is relatively a really good relationship. We get along very well, we have fun together, there is obviously attraction, we have a really strong friendship. We fight and have our differences but who doesn't. But I can't get this feeling out of my...
