Sharp squeezing pain!

I am over a year out from surgery and I have had no issue. Last night immediately after dinner a sharp squeezing pain was in my upper abdomen radiating to my chest arm and back. I had to self induce vomit and it didn't make the pain stop! I was keeled over on the floor crawling to the master bath to get in the tub to take the pressure off. It worked and then I got out and it came right back but for longer. The pain lasted about 25 minutes. Along with it was shaking light headed, dizzy, heart racing and sweat! Anyone experience this all at once and then it just dissipates? Again I have had NO issues with eating or vomiting or dumping since surgery. Looking for thoughts on this. Oh I ate chicken breast and veggie nothing out of the norm.

That does not sound normal or healthy. Did you call a doctor? Has it happened again since then? I'm the paranoid type - if I had experienced something like that I would have been back in the ER asap. o.o Hope you're well/safe!

I have not experienced it before or since. Granted this happened Wednesday and since it happened I have been eating like I just had surgery to be safe. Plus since it happened my stomach feels sore is the only way to describe it.

I really think you should contact a doctor. Hope it's nothing serious, take care of yourself!

Do you have your gall bladder?

My thought exactly... gallbladder maybe?

That sounds exactly like a gallbladder attack! I would get checked out immediately.. if you let it go.. the gallbladder may get backed up and you can become jaundice and very sick. My mother didn't realize for years that's what she was having and almost died from this... I'm now 6 days post op and I chose to get my gallbladder removed at the same time because I had a growth.. turns out the scan missed that I also had stones .. trust me, there's no need for panic but definitely talk to your doctor and get it checked out.

That's a gall attack I have those when I eat something high in fat get a cat scan and see if you have stones
