For the past couple of weeks my chest had started to bother me again! It hadn't been for maybe over a month now. Last night it bothered me so that I had a hard time sleeping again. It was that burning sensation, and it was mostly on the left side and in my left breast! I didn't know if it was acid reflux or what. So I took a zantax, and it subsided somewhat, I finally got to sleep. Today, it bothered me a little, it feels like somethings sitting in my throat, and I was burping off and on. I am still so afraid of some of these body symptoms, even though I've experienced most of them before. Does anyone still experience chest discomfort,(and I'm in wk 14)? Or get that burning sensation in the chest or breast area? When will it all be over? It's like I'm fine until I feel the body symptoms, once they appear, depending on what it is, everything I've learned runs out of my brain, and I start thinking the worst! HELP!

Brandi - I get that too ! But you are the first person that I've heard say they have it. I told my doctor about it about the same time he diagnosed me with Adrenal Fatigue. But he just looked at me like I was crazy.
Has your doctor given you ideas about what it is ?
It worries me too-

Thx for replying sunshine2da, no, all my doctor tells me is that it is acid reflux and to keep taking my prilosec. I am getting more blood work done because I get these tired spells off and on. I too started to think that I had that adrenal fatigue, but have not been tested for it. I also requested him to give me a mamogram, to check my left breast, I've had like 3-4 ultra sounds of that same breast, good thing they never found anything. So I just want to make sure because that was monthes ago, and my chest discomfort has returned along with this weird burning sensation. Do you get the back aches too, like in the upper middle of your back? Hope this is all just anxiety symptoms!

Hi Brandi - Yes, I get the backaches too in the middle of my back between my shoulder blades.
My doctor has had me on Nexiuum for six months because he said I may have acid reflux. (Idon't have health insurance and can't afford the tests for that ) I took Nexiuum and it may have helped some, but I read that some side effects are back aches and all over muscle aches, of which I have a lot of 24/7. I did get tested for adrenal fatigue and have been taking something for that. It has helped with the fatigue. The chest aches worry me the most, I was in the hospital for 2 days a year ago and they did all the heart test and everything checked out okay. So I guess its the anxiety, but until you said that you had them too, I didn't know of anyone else that did. Thanks for sharing.
