Chest Pains

Vlad,
wow, I didn't know you could get it in tea form. How does it taste?
I take it in formed tablets. I sure hope it works the way I have read about, because I know between bad eating habits (fatty foods) and the damn booze, my poor liver has taken a shit kicking throughout its life in my body! Believe it or not I have actually not only almost become a total non drinker (having drank maybe 10 times in total in 2009...blows me away...never thought I would be able to say that), but I have dropped 42 pounds. I have never done so well in my whole life. I sure do hope I am able to hold it together.

How are you doing? I haven't been posting much lately, so not really caught up on how everyone is hanging in there?

Another thing to try (if you think it might be liver pain) is of course lemon water. Half a lemon squeezed into a huge mug of hot water. As many a day as you can handle. Very detoxifying.

Have you thought about getting some blood work done to test your liver levels? I never did, but I really try to deal with my alcohol issues without getting too much on paper (recorded, it worries me that it may cause problems one day) But lately I have behaved, and like I said no pain since not drinking...crazy how us alkies treat our poor bodies.

Has the pain gone away totally for you yet, or is it still uncomfortable?

Take good care...you are WORTH IT! :l :l

Vlad,

I've had unusual pains, but they are ABOVE my breast. Are yours above or below?

[TakeHeart]

Right side as well.

I would say more above the breast.

Chest Pains

oooh, above? hmmm, I thought yours was below as well vlad. I have read that women can feel heart attack pain in the chest and arm on the right side more than the left like men. Maybe you should go in for a check up ASAP???

Are you still experiencing pain now?

Vlad,

Doesn't the UK have great health care like Canada? I am self employed in the US and have paid $500 us per month for health care over the past 10 years. NEVER needing anything but a yearly physical. Just recently had to cancel due to finances and for the first time would actually like to go to a doctor. Besides the recent pain in my upper right side like you, a few months ago my left arm had a SEVERE dull ache. Happened twice in a day and hasn't returned since.

Would love for you to keep me posted.

Best of everything to you!

Not sure but I have noticed a dull, achy "awareness" (not really painful but the awareness that "something" is there) just an inch to the right of my solar plexis over the past year on and off. It seems more prevelent after drinking. Seems to be more common during my anxiety/mild withdrawal times...Luckily nothing really painful...As long as you get it checked out it may be AL related and will decrease or even stop with AB.

Vlad,
I'm voting with the people who tell you to see a doc, but I'm not sure if your doc knows about your relationship with alcohol. It is always hard to know how they will respond, and most generall practioners I think are only aware of the AA approach. Take care of yourself, we only get one body per life.

Vlad, as others have suggested I think you should see your doc, pain underneath right breast is the liver area. Look after yourself
