Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Pain

Hi, Im 19, female and have been having severe chest pains for over two months (i think anxiety attacks) however since yesterday i have had a strong abdominal pain which seems to be making the chest pain alot more severe and im extremely pale. Should i mention the chest pain i have had since i was a small child (5) and doctors have never been able to tell me or my parents what it is, only at the age of 15 i had my first 'fit' because of it... i feel the pane,it gradually builds up, go pale, then start shaking uncontrollably...everytime it happens when i get to the hospital im ok. I don't know what to do, please provide me with some constructive advice.
Thank you
Best regards
Ana

General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI Ana.
It is so unfortunate for you and your parents that in spite of your classical history, Doctors could not diagnose you.

This history is classical of a few things :
Eventration of the diaphragm
Hiatus hernia.
herniation of intestines through the diaphragm into the chest pain causing you the cascade of symptoms you wrote> strong abdominal pain which seems to be making the chest pain a lot more severe and i am extremely pale
>
I would advise you the following
X-ray of the chest and abdomen when you have an '' attack;;.
CT scan
Barium studies.
Once the diagnosis is made the surgery may make you symptom-free and alright for ever.
