Random Dry-heaving Occuring Everyday For No Apparent Reason? Posted: 12-05-06 21:02pm
Sorry for the longevity of this message,
and I hope I am posting in the correct
forums (i could not find another forum
that seemed appropriate to this issue)
here's my story:
about 2.5 months ago I began a new job
that entails a lot of new knowledge and a
lot of physical training. Prior to
obtaining this new job I never had any
issues with any physical ailments or
medical issues in my past. I've been
healthy as anything since I can remember.
As I began this new job (and subsequent
physical training), I noticed that I would
randomly begin to dry-heave at various
points throughout the day for about 2-3
seconds and then it would disappear. It's
come on rather suddenly and oddly enough
it seems to be the only symptom of any
ailment I may have. But I truly have no
idea what could be causing this random
dry-heaving. Here are some facts about it
with me:
-occurs nearly everyday at random points
in the day. Sometimes I am doing nothing
but sitting and reading, other times I
will be outside washing the car. And
other times in between of course.
-occurs during my workouts everytime I do
physical training. Usually running and
aerobic-type workouts. (as of now I run
about 3-4 miles a day and do alot of
calesthetics(sp) nearly everyday as well.
Have been doing this for about 2.5
months)
-occurs often when I venture into the
cold. If I run outside to grab the paper
or just go outside for a moment in 50
degree weather or below, I often times get
this feeling of dry-heaving and I usually
do.
-i have not yet actually vomited, only
dry-heaved. And it usually occurs for
about 2 secs then goes away for a while.
If I breathe in real deep I can usually
get it to go away without much fuss.
It began right as I began my new job and
new training. I've been told it could be
stress related, but i'm past the
nervousness of a new job, and i've had a
work and pt routine down now for a good
2.5 months. I rarely am stressed anytime
before, during, or after work. This
feeling hits me almost everyday (at random
points in the day), and always during
physical training.
My health besides this seems perfect. No
other pains or problems, I sleep fine, I
eat relatively healthy, no digestive
problems really, very little junk food and
soda, I dont take any drugs or
medications, I drink a beer once a month
maybe, and i'm in great shape overall, nor
do I or have I ever smoked. I just have
no idea where this dry-heaving is coming
from but it's getting very
discomforting.
My doctor did some blood tests and said
everything looks fine except something to
do with the liver or kidney (sorry for my
lack of knowledge here, I know those are
two very important organs, you'd think I
could remember which one he was talking
about) but i'm not sure which. He
recommend I get an ultra-sound done and I
plan on doing it this week.
Does anyone else have any experience with
this, or any recommendations? Maybe some
ideas as to what could be causing it? As
I said before I have no other noticeable
symptoms of any other disease or health
issue that I am aware of. Any help would
be great!
