I am a survivor of sexual abuse plus others. When I was 8 I started to experience overall chest pain. At 9 I went throught a medical review to find out why and the only answer was You have something we don't know what. That was in 1972, I have asked every doctor, had medical evaluations on lungs & heart, no answer. Last week, I asked my Rumatologist and Whoa! He said general chest pain is a common complaint of survivors of abuse and since many survivors end up suffering from Fibromyalgia it has become "part of Fibo". It is caused by shallow breathing, breathing from the diaphram more that the chest. This causes problems with the ribcage. Changing breathing habits is a start to relief and there is a Special Physical Therapy that a PT has to be trained in, that will help relieve the condition. All Chest Pain should be checked out! If you find yourself without answers try this one. It's not in my head, Its real! FinallyView Thread
