Re: Diarrhea, chest pain, palpitations and shortness of breath

Molly,

It may be that your symptoms of chest pain, palpitations and difficulty breathing are not directly related to your gallbladder surgery.

I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia a few years before my gallbladder problems occured. This neurological disorder and others like it (CFS, FMS, orthostatic hypotension) can cause the symptoms you mentioned.

I was told by one of my doctors that having postural orthostatic tachycardia has likely been the source of my digestive tract problems (IBS and reflux, diahrea and painful bowel spams), because my nervous system is not performing properly, so my organs are suffering.

Yours came afterwards, so maybe that is not your situation. But it would be worth going to a neurologist or cardiologist if you are still having those other problems. Don't wait till it gets critical, because it takes months to get a disagnosis for a neurological disorder of this type. Tweet
