chest pains, trouble sleeping, please help

[Guest guest]

I have been experiencing some uncomfortable pressure/pain in the area of my

sternum for the past several days.

 

I constantly feel as though I need to take a deep breath as my breathing has

become rather shallow. You know how sometimes you feel the urge to take a

really, really deep inhale to expand your chest/lungs, and then there is a great

relief? Well, that is exactly what I'm talking about, but I get that urge/need

about twice a minute.

 

This is new, the past two nights I have tried to sleep, almost as soon as I lay

in bed my chest begins to hurt pretty bad, like it's being crushed, and the

sternum area is very sensitive. I have managed to fall asleep both nights

around 11:00pm and both nights I woke at 1:29am. The first night I lay awake

for an hour or more with this pain bothering me, and eventually fell asleep.

Last night I moved out to the couch and fell asleep there.

 

I have been trying to ween myself from my pain meds (back) although I've never

had chest problems/pains. Last night I took a dose at 1:30 after getting up and

some Tums (having a lot of upset stomach problems too) and fell asleep

relatively fine.

 

I do not know what to expect tonight, it seems there is no position that is

comfortable, on my back or either side, or a twisting combo of the two. I've

tried everything but standing on my head. This is in my waterbed that I've had

for 10+ years and absolutely love, can't live without. Now all of a sudden it

seems to aggravate me. Don't know if it's the bed or me.

 

Chrism and others: Have you any light to shed or advice to offer?

 

Thank you very much,

With humble appreciation,

Bill

I've had a somewhat similar case of shallow breathing last year . I had much

energy work going on in the area of my sternum causing very shallow breaths . I

went to my doctor and he could see my chest area having short spasms . It last

for about five weeks and the only thing that really help me to sleep was lying

flat on the floor breathing in as deep as i could before going to bed .

 

One thing that may have or not caused this was the drug " neurotin " . I was

prescribe these earlier that week and they caused much pain for me , with the

kundalini energy . I stop taking them the second day and three days after that

was when kundalini was working in my sternum area , that was causing the spasms

and shallow breathing .

Kundalini can have symptoms that are similar to what you write of Bill.

Some digestive tract transformations can be experienced with an awakening. Yours

appears to be going nice and slow but yes even then some of the changes can be

disorienting. Gas and other forms of GI interaction with the Kundalini can

produce a bloated sensation. As well as sleep variations and some physical

qualities of discomfort that will sometimes accompany these changes.

dear BillNamasteI have thought of you this day and hope the chest problems are better. . . i hope you will go ahead and seek medical assistance. . .so often Kundalini does cause all kinds of symptoms that can not be explained medically. . .but with it being near your heart and effecting your breathing it would be so very wise to make sure there is not an underlying medical problem. . .Bill it was very common for me to have gurgles through my heart with the movement of kundalini when the central column opened, at first was concerned i was having heart problems for it felt like air bubbles were being burped through the the heart chambers. . .a very strange sensation. . . .Bill since you also are going through a period of going off pain killers, you might be going through withdrawl and that might be part of the energy drain. . .and the pain killers might have been covered up a medical problem with your hiatus or lungs. . .so i am hoping you have it checked by your medical doctors. . .dear soul. . .i know this must be some of your own consideration, but just want to encourage you to have this checked medically first. . . .and then we can speak to the kundalini issues once those are addressed.sending your good thoughts of peace and comfortordinary sparrow , Bill <astronutski wrote:>> > I have been experiencing some uncomfortable pressure/pain in the area of my sternum for the past several days.> > I constantly feel as though I need to take a deep breath as my breathing has become rather shallow.

Hi Bill! I have had similar issues over the past several months. It continues with new symptoms recently where I can't sleep on my left side, only the right. I've also had this bubbling /fluttering feeling going through my heart.

I went and had my heart checked just to be sure that there was no problem. For peace of mind, I would recommend doing this and then you can rest easy in that this is just a part of your K process.

Hope you feel better!

Hugs,

Sarita

Hi Bill,

 

I am sorry to hear of your difficulty, and just like the others on the site are

suggesting, its wise to get it checked out. That said, I had a difficult heart

opening around a year and a half ago. I had many of the symptoms everyone else

had, including shortness of breath, gasping, gurgling in the heart, feeling like

bubbles of water was trickling about, and at times a violent beating between my

rib cage that sometimes threw my body around.

 

This intensified over around a 4 week period, where I became progressivly more

tired as the kundalini worked its way and my unconsious resistance layer pushed

back harder harder, and I felt as though I was trapped in the middle of an inner

war. Things got very dark internally as the root of the block was neared, and

finally, I surrendered to the unknown through guidance I had from a dream. The

result, though, was immersion in non-dual love when my heart finally opened, and

I started to experience everything as though it was bathed in a fine golden

mist, and the entire world seemed soft. I would stand at the metro just crying

for the beauty and love that seemed to shine through all beings and suspend,

hold and caress even the most sick, the oldest, the poorest or the handicapped,

in ways that they could not see yet.

 

are you having any dream activity related to this?

 

love

Bruce
