I’m a 29 y.o. female. A few weeks ago I developed these symptoms very suddenly, while lying on my left side in bed:
* Heaviness in chest
* Sharp pain in stomach, right below sternum
* Upper back tightness, pain
* Shortness of breath.
Symptoms went away when upper back was massaged deeply. Massaging stopped, symptoms came back. Massaging restarted, symptoms went away. All in all, I was knocked down by this for about 20-30 minutes. When it went away, I felt like nothing had happened at all.
That same day I had started antibiotics for strep throat. Had taken first dose 10-15 minutes before symptoms started. Completed 10-day regiment of antibiotics, symptoms haven’t come back.
I suffer from PSVT, but never had anything like this happen before.
Other medication being taken at the moment: tylenol with codeine for the throat pain, Yaz contraceptive.
At first I thought I didn’t have enough water and the pills were stuck in the trachea, causing all that. Any ideas?
