I have arthritis and pretty gnarly rib inflammation which cause stabby and pressure pains along my chest and shoulders etc. I'm so happy the lord paired that with me also having panic attacks related to medical issues like heart attacks. I think I may be dying at least a couple times a day and my stress goes through the roof.

Besides the reflux issue, I found out why I felt like I was having panic attacks and also passing out unconscious at times. I have POTs and ehlers danlos syndrome. So the reflux issue is also another problem. Once I found out about the syndrome everything else fell into place..technically everything falls out of place. Joints especially the intercostal joints. They subluxate. I take beta blockers for my heart because POTs is a problem that causes the heart to suddenly race or have palpitations. They have found now that it is an autoimmune disease that effects the a1 adrenergic receptors. EDS is 50% inheritable and it’s considered a rare disease but it’s more common than they realize. Can cause TMJ problems, intestinal problems, allergies, mitral valve prolapse, endometriosis, breathing problems, gastroparesis, dental crowding and narrow palate. A lot of can’t stand for long or sit for too long. Lots of pain, muscle fatigue and fatigue in general. Just throwing this out there in case some people think it sounds familiar, you would see a geneticist.
