About a month ago I ate out at an expensive chinese place. After quite a large meal, I threw up a little. Since then, my appetite has been diminishing. More recently, due to anxiety related to college admissions and grades, my appetite had worsened. I could barely look at food and would feel nauseated if i tried to eat food. Also, since i wasnt really eating anything there wasnt much of a a bowel movement and i use to feel constipated. To then add to all the uneasiness, I started getting (for the past 5 days) these chest pains (as if someone was pressing down on my chest). These pains move to the back and then the stomach and then back again to my chest. I get instant reliefe from the pains when i burp but then the pains just come back soon after. I have lost a lot of weight- around 5 Kg. Nowadays, as soon as i get up i feel nauseated and throw up either bile, or my breakfast. After that, i suffer from the very uncomfortable chest pains thru the day. i only get complete reliefe ..

contd.. when i sleep only to wake up again and feel nauseated. My bowel movement has improved but the nausea and chest pains continue and are perhaps contributing to the bad appetite.
I have met 3 doctors, one a general consultant who told me to get a number to tests done since he didnt know what i was suffering from... then an endocronologist since i also have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and i thought that maybe my hormones had something to do with my condition. But the endocronologist was of the opinion that my PCOS could not trigger any of the things i feel. The third doctor felt it was just stress.. he did a general physical examination and then told me to get a blood test to see the condition of my liver. the test showed that there was nothing wrong. This third doctor is a cardiologist and a gastro-something-logist and he figured that the pains and nausea is due to acidity and stress. he told me to take pantocid DSR. Its only been a day since i have started with that

Andrew : Not constipated anymore since I have started eating a little more after trying to mentally over come nausea. Bowel movement is going back to normal. As for heart disease, the third doctor i went to was a cardiologist and he didnt think it could be heart related. The pain is on the right side of my chest, sometimes in the middle. No diarrhea, no fever/chills, no shortness of breathe ... the pain isnt really affected by my meals.. but is does have an effect on my appetite..
As for being diabetic .. im not.. the doctors already ruled that out (not by a test, but after physical examination)

magenta, my question is in the 'disease and conditions' section since it is related to health problems. whereas your desire to taste blood is evidently related with psychology, or maybe just, child psychology. Your question was dumb and not related to this section of yahoo answers.
I really wonder how much of an *** u need to be to atleast put ur damn question in the right section. Quite a big one i guess eh?
