Operation

I'm a little bit of a hypochondriac. I've actually gotten better over time. And don't worry about me; the first step is admitting you have a problem.

But here's the real problem: Headaches and back pain. And nausea. And lower abdominal pain. Also, my chest is doing crazy stuff.
Let's start at the beginning: since Last Tuesday, I've been experiencing a new kind of pain in my back. It hurt for a couple weeks, then the pain stopped for a while, and now it has returned. It's extremely uncomfortable. I have no idea what's causing it. All I know is that it's not muscle pain. I know what muscle pain feels like. Anyway, so abdominal pain: feels like cramps. Sometimes it gets pretty ugly. Now, the hard part. Chest: since Last Tuesday, I've been experiencing strange feelings in my chest. My heart either feels like it's skipping beats or it's pounding out of my chest. Fun. And most days, I struggle to breathe. There's some other weird stuff, too, that I still don't have words for.

Anyway, so the fun part is either googling my symptoms or looking them up on WebMD and seeing what I get. These are the fun ones:

--Pregnancy (I'm not pregnant, for sure for sure. If I were, I'd be due in about two months)
--Heart Attack
--Miscarriage
--Vertebral Compression Fracture
--Shingles
--Aortic Aneurysm
--Pneumonia
--Gallstones/Gallbladder Infection
--Herniated Disc
--Liver Disease

I'm pretty sure I don't have any of these. They're all pretty easy to detect. Either way, this back pain is keeping me up at night, as are the headaches. Wee!
