I have been having constant dull pain in my chest on and off for over 8 years. When this happens it depletes my energy completely and makes it very difficult for me to talk. At times I can t even whisper. If I try to talk it hurts even more. At the first several years when I began to have this problem it was cyclical. Sometimes these symptoms lasted for a couple months or longer then I d have a break feeling reasonably well. During the bad cycle I can t even take care of myself. When I am doing well I can do normal activities like walking, shopping and gardening. In the last few years, my condition has gotten much worse. The dull pain is there all the time. I had my heart, my lungs, blood work and a host of scans many times. There is no diagnosis. Since last June my condition has progressed aggressively . I was bedrriden for many days and unable to do any thing. In the last couple weeks I had a few good days and regained some energy. For a few days I was able to talk almost normal but after a long conversation my chest hurts and now I can t talk any more. Can you help me?
