New Symptom Posted: 02-14-06 11:07am
I've been having panic attacks for a while
now. They've manifested themselves in
different ways some of whixch i've
controlled/moderated. Over the last few
months though i've had a feeling of, well,
to put it blandly, expansion in the right
side of my stomach.
When I look down at my stomach it slopes
from right to left. It feels tight on my
right side and the muscles are contracted.
There is no feeling at all like this on
my left side. The worrying thing is that
when I feel the side of my stomach, it
feels like there may be a lump next
to/underneath the stomach muscles. Its
hard to explain, i'm 20/m and have a
relatively healthy lifestyle. This
symptom never seems to properly "go away"
although it does die down every now and
then.
Anybody else experienced something like
this?

Hey mr. Max
i see you have new symtoms as well.
Guess what? I have had the same thing
around this time of year for 2 years now.
It feels like pressure right below my
right rib cage and stomach area. I have
had x-rays and ultra sounds done and there
is nothing. It is apparently caused by
tension, and since this time of year is
when people experience high levels of
anxiety you get tenderness from the stress
on your muscles. It wouldn't hurt to ask
your doctor for an ultra sound if you are
still concerned, but I guarantee that they
will find nothing. You helped me in my
forum and so I hope that I have helped
you.
