This only happens to me about once every couple weeks but it feels like there is a rubber band around my lungs or upper stomach.
I feel like I have to be constantly flexing my upper abs so they doesn't collapse!
It's not super terribly painful or strong, but more like crampy or achy...
It sometimes feels like I have difficulty breathing when this happens.
I've read that Stomach issues can barely hurt and be extremely dangerous or hurt very much and be not much of anything at all! I'm not quite sure what to think and I don't want schedule an appointment and pay tons of money to hear the Doctor tell me somthing like "You have to poop" or "It'll stop hurting once you fart" LOL....what could this be?
Sounds like it could be an Anxiety attack. Think about when it's happening, if you're stressed, and what makes it go away. You should probably go get checked out to be on the safe side.
