I hope Tracy did okay <3
 

I am brand new here and have had about the same symptoms in and out the last week. I often feel like sandbags are in my chest and someone is squeezing my throat from the inside. I have not yet been diagnosed, but my GP sent me to a pulomonary dr and I am getting a breathing test 11/9. It's gotten worse in the 2 weeks since my appt. She mentioned Myasthenia Gravis at the appt. I think if I get worse (it's 21 count right now, but would have been much less last night), I may go to the ER where she is a member.

My chest under the diaphragm often not only feels weighted (and I'm exhausted and yesterday unsteady), but also aches inside.

I was in hospital just over a year ago, because they thought it was my heart. When it wasn't, they just sent me home. It came and went, but I can see now that the first "event" was about 3 and 1/2 years ago. Stayed away, then more and more frequent "events" which are longer lasting and more severe have taken place. This has been a few months, now, and it's getting worse.

I'll be 55 11/5. I want to make it to that birthday :(

I'm going to try and find Tracy to be sure she did what you all pleaded with her to do.

(This is my first post - thank you all so much for this site and your voices!)
