Hi everyone, I know this is not related to MC. I have been diagones with LC and on medication for that. Seem to be in somewhat remission now, thank goodness. Have been ill for about 4 years with this. But anyways I do have a question about chest pain. I was on a plane back in January and as the plane was climbing altitude the pressure in my chest going up to the left side of my neck was so unbearable. I was so close to saying something but was too embarrassed. It lasted about 15 minutes until the plane leveled off. I know its not related to LC but I feel like I have been through so much in the last 4 years It just never ends.
Thank you for these boards. I dont know what I would do.

Vitamin B12 deficient
Hi Deb,
Did you mention that issue to your doctor when you returned home? You really should discuss that with your PCP. The symptoms could have been due to something as simple as indigestion, but it could also be a sign of something else, such as angina, or some other cardiac event. If you tend to be deficient in vitamin B-12, the symptoms could have been associated with oxygen starvation, (high altitude sickness), as the aircraft gained altitude. Usually, though, high altitude sickness causes a severe headache, and nausea.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
