feel like i am going to quite litteraly collapse or die after reflux attack?

Hi i have a possible hiata hernia,i keep of late though getting an overwhelming feeling like i am going into a state of shock like i have had in a motorbike accident,i know it is 100% not physcological,when i get this it's normaly proceeding a bout of indegestion i suddenly go like i am in shock and i need an ambulance but i try to fight it,the problem is it's over powering.You can't fight it,and after i have severe indegestion is when it occurs but not always,after this feeling the last time 2 nights ago it was proceeded by an immense pain in what i believe are my kidneys? It was like a feeling of your organs above your pelvis are being knotted.I then go to a state of almost like you've come off a motorbike and then finaly it goes away suddenly.It lasts maybe 1 or 2 minutes sometimes 3 minutes.But it feels immensely uncontrolable as fighting the feeling just doesn't come close to making youfeel any better and you litteraly feel like any second your guarenteed to collapse or maybe die from it.I have been getting constant kidney pains for years once it stopped me dead walking as if i need an ambulance then it went,years later it came back and today i am feeling it again but 10x worse than prior.I am on omeprazole once a day and peptac liquid 4 times a day for the indegestion but i can have 2 omeprazole and 4 peptac liquid mouthfulls and the acide is still there on bad days.Any ideas because i'm worrying also it may be after hurting my self on motorbikes i say this because i have an immense pain all the time if washing dishes stood at the sink i simply no longer can stand for prolonged or even short intervals without bad back pains,and gardening is all but impossible leaning down to do edging.I did nearly faint when took the hospital and the feeling is very similar to that.I didn't faint they caught me and i tried to fight it and never went completely out.But i think it's ironic,my kidneys were black and blue but never checked after,i'm an excessively heavy smoker and my breathing also is horrific if i currently breathe in it's like i'm taking an extra horrible sounding breathe but i am not taking in that second breathe forcefully?Also i had been having massive piercing sensations which i can only relate to as s heart attack like feeling palpatations very rapid like a knitting needle has entered my heart,breathing out fast and hard used to relieve it but if i get it,which is rare then it no longer works breathing out fast/hard any longer it will just increase.I am 31 but i have also got back pain between shoulders that is terrible i can't rest i feel discomfort in my back and lower spine,but i nearly passed out in hospital i felt i was dying at that stage like my blood stopped,this is after holding a bike coming off as not to drop it,i had 3 weeks off went back in pain like a idiot and it just never went right,i've done loads of things to my back coming off rope swings and motorbikes etc.But this thing with the kidneys i have had years just never like this it became rare until the other night were my kidneys felt twisted in a knot.Headaches i get every day well migranes very intense to be honest.I often am told from time to time that i look white and look like i'm dying,but then it wears off and color comes back,the pain in my gut is dull and not painfull like i'm going to cry but that does tend to be there often like a poke in the belly sensation.I havve it whilst i write this,to me it is reminisant of reflux about to take over but that sometimes does not occur,but the back thing prevents me being able to stand up for very long at all especially doing dishes or edging a garden,i keep saying to my mum i can't but she just doesn't understand,i get a similar feeling right side back where right lung is,and through the shoulders and a aching neck very very often sometimes even all day.I just don't like the feeling where i feel i may go unconscious or die,and i know for 100% sure fire guarentee it's not a panic attack,i have been jumped,i've had plueracy i've injured my self 78mph coming off a motorbike i dislocated my foot and fractured my wrist but that never made me cry or have a panic attack as such,so this has to be extreme to even contemplate it being life threatening you see.It's ironic that i never had a scan and my foot got worse,but at that time i noticed my kidneys were very badly bruised and never got them checked or reported it to even my family at that time.But ever since the last crash my back has been in pieces nearly every second of every day.How related the back is i do not know,but it does beg the question about bruising to my kidneys and this sudden kidney pain.

Thanks for the replies,I have not been eating as many sweets,drinking less and cut down coffee.my tinnitus persists even as I write this still moderate.my problem is wax as if I use eardrums it clears up although sound is faint.Problem is it sometimes now feels like when you whack your head and everything audible goes distant and frightening then it goes as it does tinnitus rises.I noticed under bombardment from people talking when I feel a little uninterested or very mildly stressed or annoyed this event occurs every time.Also I have pretty continuously intermittent chest pains like being poked but like a bruising feeling after behind my front laid to lower front ribs?

   Hi.....I noticed  you  are  aware smoking amplifies  your  symptoms....smoking with any medical condition  is not good....smoking restricts your blood vessels making it harder  for blood to flow normally....then  add in High BP....you  will feel  it  all the  more....one  thing you   can  do to help how  you   feel is to  quit smoking....as  it can cause reflux  symptoms  to flare as  well  as  the other issues  you  are  having,....I am sure I am  not the first  to  point  that  out....but  felt  the  need  to  reinforce  the idea.

Had an mri on my flank/pelvis came up all clear,but the reason now believed for this shock like state i kept slipping into was pressure on the nerve connected to my ears aurial nerve?.This was due to blockage,it was causing so much pressure that it caused my blood pressure to rise to critical levels,i went to a&e and they were rubbish they left me 4hrs after taking massively high blood pressure readings while i felt like i was about to collapse,just to be so stupid they told me if it happens again go the doctor lol.How can you go a doctor if you die?

Any way i have severe tinnitus all the time but having seringing cleared a lot of the feelings i was getting up.But i still have the issue of tinnitus moderate,i can't drink some days because it aggravates it to an out of control level,also smoking amplifies it.

I have to see the doctor tomorrow any way,i have had cysts for a while but  now they've burst out everywhere suddenly eg. on feet,around kidney area more on my arms etc etc,whilst this is happening i have also developed little goosebumps all over my arms??? I don't know what this is but terbinafine oral fungal meds and head and shoulders pasted on after every bathe does nothing after 1 month+ using it.I have had cysts on arms and shins for a while now but they have started to appear in odd places to now like my feet around my kidney area etc,got no idea what's making them,i was thinking systemic candida forming lumps?

Hi, your symptoms could be due to Musculoskeletal disorders. As the name reflects are disorders affecting the muscles, the joints, tendons and ligaments and sometimes the nerves. They are diagnosed by a physical examination. Sometimes blood tests, x rays, bone scan, CT and nerve conduction studies can help clinch the diagnosis. Treatment usually depends on the cause and painkillers are given if the pain is severe. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation. Regards.
