I fought the doctors for months. I was begging and crying saying I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Constant burning in my chest and throat. Felt like I was breathing through a straw. Started carrying N oxygen monitor around cuz I thought I was crazy. The doctor gave me anxiety meds. Then tried putting me on Prozac. I said I’m not crazy. I cannot breathe. The pressure is just too bad. Finally she said she can check my gallbladder. I said do it. I requested every test I could think of before that. Thyroid, ultrasounds. I amassed over 10k in medical debt (and that’s before the endoscopy, ultrasound on gallbladder hida scan and gallbladder removal surgery. Ultrasound showed it packed with stones. Hida scan showed it functioning at 0 they couldn’t even find it. Got it removed yesterday and I can finally breathe again. I can drink pop again without feeling like there’s air trapped in my chest and throat. If you feel like you’re struggling to breathe with no answers check you gallbladder. Advocate for yourself. You know your body more than anyone!!

I have been begging for help for the past few months. Feeling like I can’t breathe properly. I got blood tests and other things done. All normal. Even a endoscopy. It started with a lump in my throat that would come and go then the feeling like I can breathe. Some days it was debilitating. It would feel like there was so much pressure trapped that I couldn’t get up. Sometimes if I could burp I’d get a little relief. The doctor eventually threw anxiety meds and Prozac my way. But I refused to take that as an answer.I kept pushing and pushing. I am not thousands and thousands of dollars in medical debt. Today I had my gallbladder tested. It’s basically completely full with stones. They did a HIDA scan and it’s so full of stones or not working at all and they couldn’t even locate my gallbladder. I finally feel like I may have relief in sight. I see her Thursday to get the ball rolling and get surgery scheduled. I’ve been crying daily for months just begging for results. An answer. Someone to listen to me. And this may finally be it. I wanted to share in case anyone else is struggling. You know your body. You’re not crazy. I see you 💙
