Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Hi! I have been a lurker here for some time now. Am battling another bad spell with pancreatitis. Does anyone have trouble sleeping on your side because it is very uncomfortable and sometimes feels as if it is cutting off your breath when you are symptomatic? I cannot lay on my sides (easier to lay on left than right side) because it is very uncomfortable and sometimes feels like it cuts my air off. I am very bloated right now, discomfort mid sternum, feels like something swelling up inside me there, pain in back and under left shoulder. Was mopping floor tonight and all of a sudden got weak and shaky feeling inside. Had to sit down, ate some soup and felt a little better. Had no chest pain, sweating, shortness of breath, etc. Just weakness and shaky inside. Had another spell like that a couple of weeks ago, only had the sternal pain radiating into chest at that time. It only lasts for a few minutes and then subsides. Thank goodness. Abdomen is very bloated and again, the mid-sternum discomfort. Ater eating, the weak and shaky is better, but the other symptoms have persisted now for over a week and are not getting any better. I am so tired of this. If I don't eat, I get sick. If I do eat, I get sick. Sometimes can eat something and get by just fine, other times that same food will make me sicker than all get out. Sometimes my back hurts so bad it feels like it takes my breath away. Also having muscle spasms around area where it hurts in my back and shoulder. Lots of reflux, no heartburn. Feels like air is blocked by something swelling up inside sometimes. Anyone else with these symptoms? Sorry to be a bother, just need to know if anyone else feels like this. The weakness and shaky feeling inside is fairly new. Am going to doctor this week after holiday, but never get much help from them. Is discouraging. It is getting hard to keep up with everything always feeling so bad. Sorry, I know all of you are in the same boat and I wish you good days and to feel well. Just need to hear from someone I guess that there are others who feel the same things I am. Sorry so long and thank you very much for all responses.
