Thank you both, really. I appreciate it. I went to ER again, diff hospital. Told them abt my dx n that i didnt believe it. Got bloodwork done and they were negative for anything so the dr dx'ed me with viral gastroenteritis then gave me rx for dicyclomine to stop the spasming. After I got home, I decided to do a bit of research and honestly, I think I have hiatal hernia, not costochronditis nor viral gastroenteritis. My symptoms match up perfectly down to the low back pain, pressure around diaphgram area, ribs, shoulderblade pain, and heart palps etc. Luckily the doc referred me to a gastroenterlogist for a follow-up (sp?) So I will see if I can somehow get a confirmation on that. I need to be sure bec hiatal hernias can cause heart problems and/or lung failure if left untreated and honestly, I just want to be able to sleep at least 5 to 6 hours uninterrupted. The only bad thing? No insurance. I don't care, I'd rather be in debt than dead. Again, thank you both. I will have to bow out of this thread since I cannot really IF with larger meals. I also just noticed we went over 500 so a mod will come soon and close this.
