Type 1 Help Weird After Eating

Agree with smartlady
better go to see gp if not then a and e
upper left is heart
not the kind of thing you would want to delay.

Think your gp should see you as urgent....phone surgery again even to speak to someone and advise them your contemplating a&e etc. My gp calls back when no apt available. I just say it's urgent and they have a doc who is 'on call's during surgery times, they call back without any problem

You aren't on statins are you?

Maybe cut back on the fruit , which can have a profound effect on the digestive system if you're not used to them. It could just be indegestion.

Now this will sound really silly!
Get someone to rub your back as if they are winding a baby they need to be quite firm and alternate between rubbing and patting. If you bring up wind and it releaves the pain it's indegestion caused by something you've perhaps added to your diet. Heart problems are not releaved by this method and it certainly won't do you any harm. Another trick is to lay on your left side bring your knees up and push your fist firmly into your abdomen and cough repeatedly, this helps to move any trapped air in the digestive system and releaves pain. Still worth having that ECG though to put your mind at ease and you never know when my tips will come in handy! Taught to me by a Surgeon many years ago and have served me well!

Hope you feel better soon!

Stress goes hand in hand with unexplained symptoms so you are probably exasperating your symptoms which is perfectly normal. It's also very telling that the bloating returned soon after you started eating. stress causes excess acid in the stomach so as soon as food hits the stomach the acid and the food you ate cause the bloating. The digestive system contracts to move the food and the contractions are what cause areas of trapped wind. The exercise I described is going to help you move everything along the digestive track.

Please try my suggestion for laying flat on your left side (important because of the way the stomach empties) I have attached a picture showing where you need to press with your fist, press firmly and massage up, down , side to side you should feel instant relief, keep forcing yourself to cough.

Brilliant! I'm so pleased, I had the identical same thing happen to me and was convinced it was my heart! The pain can be excruciating and it's hard to believe you're not having a heart attack! The Consultant was brilliant, I remember saying to him, 'why doesn't everyone know how to do this'! Lol at least now you can stop stressing about it being something more serious.

Oxygen saturations of 99% are brilliant and seldom seen outside of new born babies and athletes, a consultant also told me that! Ask your Doctor if it's ok to take fybrogel or similar which is a bulking agent, it helps alleviate pain and discomfort caused by a sluggish digestive system, not sure if it can be taken by diabetics though but I'm sure he can perscribe something similar. You can actually buy it off perscription but check first.
