I'm in the middle of my second episode of "chest wall pain" within 3 weeks. It is extremely painful and apparently has no real cause or explanation. It also comes with a swollen and painful Xiphoid process at the bottom tip of my sternum. Lots of Ultram and Advil seem to do very little to help and lying down to sleep is extremely painful. The whole sternum feels like it is cracked.
I know there are body and mind connections, but this just feels so "real" or just obvious. The need to try and explain it away and shove it down are exhausting. I'm so very tired from not being able to sleep well and just f-ing hurting 24/7.
I've been told it can continue or will just go away on its own eventually. I know it sounds kind of strange, but it's almost like my broken heart and emotional pain is manifesting itself in a very real and painful way. Like I'm splitting down the middle.
I've never felt like there was such a cause and effect from my mind. I've had the headaches, rises in blood pressure and heart rate, sick stomachs and just being depressed and worn down more apt to get flues and colds....but this feels like a blatant manifestation of my internal status.
Does anyone else see the direct links from your minds to your bodies and how the diseases of the mind come out in physical ways?? I see so many articles showing the links between depression and cardiac problems, neuropathy, aches and pains, etc....what is your experiences?
