gallbladder ?
Posted: 07-09-07 15:21pm

Ok, my story is a little long, but here goes.

Let me start by saying I do have ulcerative colitis, and am seeing a dr. about this.

About 3 months ago, I started getting very bloated, and had mild stomach discomfort, and some chest discomfort. I went to the family dr. and he did an ekg, came back as normal, he said he did this to ease my mind that it is not heart related. he then ordered a ultrasound. That came back as being ok. I still had all the problems, and lost my appetite completely for a few weeks. I had a HIDA scan and it came back showing the ef rate was low functioning at 24%, the nurse said normal is between 35% and 70%, she said she would schedule me with a surgeon, I saw the surgeon and he was not fully convinced my symptoms were that of gallbladder issues, and he ordered a endoscope, and it came back showing nothing was wrong, he then ordered on my urging a cat scan, and it came back as ok as well.. then he pretty much just said it was my colitis, and that is it... I am keft wondering if it is or is not. I made an appt. with my colitis dr. which will be coming up next month.....
I am still having weird issues... just sometimes some mild chest discomfort, followed by a week of being just fine, then I will have a chest spasm of sorts, like where I can see my heart beat in my chest, like a spasm.. I am afraid this is heart related and try to get the dr. to order a stress test, and they won't even call me back Sad I am just frustrated and want an answer on this... it effects my daily life, as it is consuming my mind, and can scare me, especially when I get chest related symptoms:( Anyone have any inkling on what this could be, or what to do next?

Thank you guys:)
