That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Oh nice post. I totally have this.
Treatment: Reasurance
Its okay. You're not dying. Calm down.
The pain is agitated by expansion and contraction of the chest. Taking a deep breath and allowing the rib cage to fully expand can relieve the pain, however it will feel unpleasant initially. At the point of full expansion, it can feel like a rubber band snap in the chest, after which the initial pain subsides.
Oh I gotta try this.
The trick is doing it quickly, like gasping for air after jumping into cold water.
Yeah, this is how I used to deal with it. You just eat that stabbing pain for a few seconds and then it's gone.
I haven't had this in probably 15 or more years at this point, which seems to be consistent with the syndrome itself being most common in young adults, teens, and children.
At the point of full expansion, it can feel like a rubber band snap in the chest,
🤮
I often struggle with arythmia, angina, and palpitations, with up to several seconds between beats sometimes, and this sounds horrific. I'd rather double my heart problems than trade them for this
Ahh, this is fun. Every time I'm like "Is this it? Is this the one?"
But no, it never is.
But no, it never is.
Yet
until it is
And your body has been crying wolf for so long that you just ignore it
That's the spirit! Got to stay positive.
Gotta have something to look forward to!
It was painless though. Speaking from experience.
OK wait on second thought I can't remember. So maybe it was. Damn!
Now look up Proctalgia Fugax
Does anyone know the name for the sensation where you stretch and suddenly your innards feel all wrong, almost like being on the verge of a cramp but not and you suspect that if you don't return relatively quickly but gently to an unstretched position that something may go badly wrong inside?
No, but I'd guess you have some scar tissue or a twist or something and to take those feelings seriously.
I've definitely had some work done in the abdominal region, it's not common or painful and does get checked annually. Thank you.
most surgeons, if they have had to pull anything (like a kidney or liver) out in order to do the surgery properly, they just toss it back in and expect it to settle back into place. it's usually fine, happens without complication. that's what i'd guess happened. probably a blood vessel or scar tissue getting snagged before settling back in.
Crazy this just popped io as I just started experiencing something like this just this week.
We moved our living took around and the way the couch is positioned I tend to lay on my left side and propr myself up on my elbow.
Recently when I do this and breathe in I get a sharp pain right where the arrow is in the picture.
I have to stand up and breathe through it for it to stop. After a few occurrences, I noticed that if I press in the area it's mildly soar. I have to really feel for it to find it.
I have no other breathing problems so it really scared me that I had a broken rib. Although I haven't done anything that could have broken my rib.
Oh, same, never had it since about 30.
The first time it happened to me I was sleeping and the pain woke me up. I drank some whiskey and went back to bed to try to die in my sleep. Unfortunately I did not die peacefully.
Before this comment, I thought my anecdote of "I had this a few years ago and decided to just let whatever it was kill me" was too bleak to post
I had no idea they had a name!
I've had it as long as I can remember, though not very often. It would only be a few times a year I'd say...
For me, the way to deal with this was to raise my arms above my head in a stretch. Made it stop every time.
Thought I was having a heart attack the first couple of times it happened.
As an adult, I still have them from time to time, but not anywhere as frequently, though still without any warning.
Same! Instead of raising my arms, I basically just take a very deep breath and try to expand my thorax as much as possible. Works quite well for me.
Well thanks for sharing this. I've been getting this since forever. Now that I think about it though I don't think it's happened in a while.
Anyway, much appreciated!
Holy fuck it has a name.
Of course it has a name ..... Of course I'm not the only one this happens to.
Ive had it since a teen when I got pneumonia, always assumed it was related to that, however it's actually this and it's a perfect description. It a bit of a mind blown moment
Oh yeah that happens to me since I'm a kid. I was told it was harmless but never had source.
Ah so it is a known thing and has a name, yay! Thanks for sharing.
What the fuck?? I had this as a teenager. Nobody could ever find out what the fuck it was.
Wtf! I literally had this happen to me right before I scroll down to this post.
a first timer! how do you like it? that "pop" sensation?
Nah not the first time tbh, just never cared enough to look into it xD.
I was kind of hoping it was terminal so I never told anyone
back in the day everyone told me it was in my head
Thanks ! Didn't know that was harmless. And people call me mad..
Jesus. Thanks for posting this.
I was sure the image was of buttcheeks and hanging dong
