I have been having a weird lower chest, upper stomach pain. It feels like a dull kinda pain, almost like heartburn, it comes and goes and lasts a few seconds. I suck at describing pain but if I had to I would say its kinda like a hand in between my ribs kinda grabbing at the tissue inside.
I started getting this last night, I don't know what it is, and I am wondering if it could be one of those problems that transguys get when they bind?
Although I wear a super old stretched out binder with only one layer, and I only bind when I am going out, so I don't know why I would have problems.
Any ideas? because I really cant afford to go to the dr unless it is a serious problem.
I would say that if it carries on for more than a week or gets worse then go and see the doctor. How long have you been binding for? I'm afraid that I don't know anything about it myself but I have friends that do.
Oh how weird I know exactly what you mean. I've been experiencing the same thing and I'm not sure what it is either. Like a dull internal ache under where I guess my diaphragm is.
It could be related to posture or not breathing correctly while binding. It could be a lot of things. Is it on one side or centre? Do you have any other symptoms or medical conditions?
