Dull Pain In Back, Sudden Stuffy Nose, Frequent Urge To Pass Stools. Could It Be Anxiety?

Hi, i went to the doctors last week due to having a dull pain in my back below my right shoulder blade, this happened more frequently when turning to the right and breathing in. I went to my local doctor and was told that it was probably pleuracy, and was told not to worry. However this pain has been on and off over a 3 week period, and at this moment in time i get the often stingy feeling in my back. I also keep feeling the need to go for a poo and have a stuffy nose all of a sudden. I don't know if most of this is anxiety or a serious problem, and would like your feedback on the matter until k make another appointment with my gp. Dean palfreman, 21 years old, 5ft9, 11.4 stone

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Yes it is possible that it could be pleurisy as the symptoms mentioned by you fit well into the diagnosis. But there is also a possibility that it could be a vertebral pain as the vertebral pain also causes similar pains. If the symptoms persist then you should get a MRI of the spine done.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you need any further details about your query, you can use the below mentioned link:
