MandyBrook Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced a cold sensation inside their chest and if so what causes it. I hate this symptom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsyturvy Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I get a cold sensation in my chest when my GERD is flared up. I also usually feel cold all down my esophagus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichGotsPots Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 not sure if it's the same thing I feel, mine can feel like I just drank something cold, but it also feels like very raw when I breath. Which part of your chest if it, mine is the very upper part but also in the middle under my sternum? Do you also have breathing issues?

MandyBrook Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Rich-- It feels like I drank something cold. It's generally in the center of my chest. It's very uncomfortable. I had been feeling so good this last week and now I feel right back to square one. I began lexapro about three and a half weeks ago and was prescribed klonopin to take alongside the lexapro to help me get through the first bad few weeks. The first two weeks I took 1 mg of klonopin every night, I didn't really notice any improvement but I didn't feel any worse either. The third week I cut down to a half of klonopin every night and it was during this time that I really began to feel better. The fourth week began and I decided to only take the half of the klonopin every other day. I immediately began having problems. All of my pots symptoms came back!!! I am SO discouraged!!! Can klonopin really help us? Or is this just a flare?Thank you!!Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
