I've been suffering from some unknown condition for the last 2-3 years. When I asked my doctor about it, he simply says I have air pockets. I'm not settling for this response because it doesn't feel right.
Here's what's happening. Only when I'm sitting down, I begin to feel piercing discomfort, not pain, in my left back area. At the same time, I feel pressure under my left rib cage area that almost causes shortness of breath - I have trouble breathing. The longer I sit, the worse it gets. The worst part is driving - driving anywhere poses a problem because this discomfort occurs.
What could it be? Who could I turn to to get advice or anything that could help me with this issue? Thank you for your help in advance.
