Hi Jennifer, I have had blood tests which showed no abnormalities,including H-Pylori bacteria. I confess to not having an endoscopy..the mere thought of a tube being inserted into me makes me vomit! Have been to the Doctors at least 7 or 8 times but to no avail. They appear to think nowt is wrong and that I am stressed;a Doctor's answer to everything. I do suffer from nausia sometimes but am not actually sick. I appear to be putting on a gut also! Something is clearly wrong but I don't know what to do. I am English but moved to Norway 2 years ago..the language can make communication difficult at times. I was extremely stressed and tense earlier...could there be a link? I have tried so hard to 'chill' and relax but these symptoms won't budge. The pain feels sore & uncomfortable in the chest bone/cavity area and into the top of my stomach area..near the diaphragm area. There is a cramping,tight pain when fully exhaled..but only after I have expanded the chest first. Wierd...but real and with no diagnosis which is causing anxiety.. no matter how hard I try to clear my mind of it. An xray showed my thorax to be ok... if you believe the medical lot. A hiatus hernia is my belief but I am not sure as all the sites and info etc on that doesn't include the wierd pain in the chest cavity area. We can rule out ulcers and cancer... I am sure that cancer would have had other effects which would have shown in blood tests... and the fact that what I have doesn't appear to be progressive. One other thing...I feel de-motivated,tired and with little energy. Definetly falling down...like Michael Douglous! I need to find someone who has had similar symptoms...
