    Exclamation Urgent help, guys.....seriously, what does IT feel like if ITS gonna happen???

    Hey guys
    Ok, I'm scared shitless and this has been going on for almost 12 hours. Need the input of like-minded people so I can get some perspective. My stomach feels really weird and has pretty much felt the same non-stop all day. It's not indigestion, IBS or my ulcer. It's a persistent feeling at the top of my stomach above my belly button-like a contracting feeling but it just stays contracted/tight (doesn't tighten then release). My throat also feels weird. Not the usual throat n* but more like it's closing.
    The good news I have no other symptoms-d, fever, etc. Plus, although the feeling hasn't gotten better, it hasn't gotten worse either-it's just kind of stayed the same. But the idea of food doesn't appeal at all but I can't eat when I'm scared anyways so that doesn't mean much.
    So my questions
    -is this what it feels like when ITs gonna happen? I honestly don't remember what true n feels like-please explain it to me!
    -is this how an SV starts out? Feeling weird for 12+ hours and then suddenly BAM it gets worse?
    -should I feel reassured that I'm no worse than I was this am or does this not really mean anything?
    -has anyone else ever felt this feeling that I tried to explain? If so, what was it? I have a myriad of stomach issues that I can
    usually identify but this doesn't resemble any of them.
    I could actually handle feeling this way if I knew it wasn't going to lead to IT.
    So, I'm so sorry for the rambling, long nonsensical post. I managed to muddle through work without any serious meltdowns,
    but now that I'm home, my mind is running wild and I just need someone to help me make sense of this bullshit.
    Thank you to anyone who made it this far!
    Jennifer
