Okay so about 3 weeks ago I had unprotected sex. I was done with my period where I wasn’t bleeding and once I had sex I started bleeding again. Then 2 weeks later I started to get headaches, feeling sick, heartburn, and moody. I don’t get pms very much when I’m start my periods. I am emotional, and cramping. I started discarging this clear guey stuff. Usually 2 weeks before my period I my breast get really sore and I should start in a week and they haven’t gotten sore. What are the chances?

I’m 19 years old and the past 2 weeks, I have been experiencing various stomach issues. Over a week ago I woke up at 5am with severe sharp pains behind my breastbone and in my stomach, so I went to the Dr. I also felt nauseous. She was unable to give me a diagnosis, and suggested I try taking Prilosec.

I continue to have dull aching/burning pain on my right abdomen behind my breastbone and below my right breast. I suspected gallbladder, but an ultrasound came back negative as did bloodwork (except I had slightly elevated amylase which she didn’t seem too worried about). I went to see the Dr and again, she told me to try Prilosec.

I do not think think this is heartburn,and I told my Dr that, so I do not think Prilosec would work. But the other day I bought a box of it (a 14 day treatment) because I would figure that I’d just try it anyway, just so I could tell the Dr that it did not work if I continue to have pain. Anyways, is there any harm in taking this medication if heartburn is not my problem? I hate to take meds if I don’t need them and I am afraid it could do more harm than good, but I am sick of her telling me to try it! So should I try it, or no?

Thanks

I’ve had a GERD/asthma combination for about a year and a half now. I recently started feeling really out of breath and attributed it to eating poorly and so close to bed. A week ago I started avoiding food triggers and taking Prilosec. But my breathing only seems to have gotten worse. (can’t een take walks anymore.)

2 days ago I started getting really lethargic and fatigued, even though I was getting between 7-8 hours of sleep. Today I went to the er to get checked out and my chest x-rays looked ok but my D-Dimer came back at 1.0, which is abnormal.

They said it probably isn’t pulminary embolism because my heart rate is low and normal and I don’t get sudden out of breath breathing, it’s more constant.

Does it seem related to heart disease or a heart valve problem? The fatigue and D-Dimer result?
Wow, thanks Pixie Chick. To answer some questions, I’m a 28 year old white female. Overweight, non-smoker, non-drinker, and have recently started taking long walks after being holed up for months. I don’t have a family history of heart disease, only high blood pressure (which I don’t have…108/74 tonight. Heart rate between 55-65 tonight, resting, oxygen 99-100.) I guess they didn’t do an EKG this time around, but now I wish they had. They seemed ery convinced that this breathing aggravation has been caused by having untreagted asthma with increasing GERD. But that doesn’t seem to explain all of the fatigue, which I seem to think could be related to heart.

I had a chest x-ray which they said was just fine (no fluid in longs, etc) Can they also see if the heart is enlarged? And if i haven’ t had any recent trauma or surgery, where else could a 1.0 D-Dimer come from? I’ve been in the er before with bad asmtha symptoms but D-Dimer always ok.
