When I wake up it feels like my organs are being/have been crushed...?

im having that problem too, im 15 5'4 and 116 pounds. It's like a weird pain in my lower abdomen though. At first i thought that it was my period but i shouldn't have gotten my period yet.... im not pregnant either... S if you think that you have any ideal on whats going on feel free to say your opinion..

So, this might not explain things for everyone, but I think I've recently found an answer! I've recently been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst on the right side, and the pain woke me up last night on the left side. I've had strange side effects the past few weeks: I thought I had a bladder infection (and antibiotics didn't help the side effects), but apparently it was just the pressure of this cyst pressing against my bladder and urinary tract. It seems to me that these cysts not only come and go as they please, but also have a variety of strange side effects. If any of you are still feeling this kind of discomfort, ask your OBGYN about it the next time you go!

Hi there I think I am having something similar to this, intermittently for the last few years, but a lot in the last week or so, leading me to search for this.

With me the area is on the left hand side of my chest just inside my lowest rib. I would have described it as almost having something stuck in my rib or as if one of my organs was being just about held in place with the sensation that it might pop up between my ribcage and my skin and float around like a ping pong ball under my skin. Wierd I know.

For me this is a discomfort and an annoyance, I used to get it during the night and could never figure out if I had dreamt about it or not as there was no pain just an uncomfartable feeling. Gonna see how it goes for a few days and see what my doc thinks then,

Cheers,
Pat

I've had that since 2000 after an illness, never went away.

Wow, I kept thinking I was alone in all of this!
I think we all should remember to tell our doctors this next time. Report back if/when you find anything out from them!

It's Talia again. I forgot to add that I feel swollen. The Doc has found swelling in my leg but is not sure why. My lupus test only came out around 12 per cent for inflamation. The Doc couldn't drain the fluid because it would not come out. She tested me for ever thing but that was before I got this new topic I wrote in the previous box. I wanted to wait until my leg was crumpling again before I go to the rhumetologist. I also wanted to mention that my mom has lupus and there is rhumetisim on both sides of my family. One Chiropractor suspected I had juvenile rhumatisim. I have had strep and bronchitis at the same time. I don't take anti-biotics. I believe I got those ailments on many occassions. I've had osteo arthritis since I was ten. I do fill very stiff in my middle when I awake. I also sleep in all ways. I'm not sure if any of this is related.

I'm so glad I came across this, not really sure what it is but for approximately two years I have been telling my family I feel like myself and organs are being squished. I figured it was probably fibryalgia. I haven't noticed any pattern but it usually happens almost every morning. The most I've been without it is a wk in a half. My whole torso hurts! It's very painful I can barely move! It often wakes me up. It takes effort to get up. I feel better after showering. I have great support so I don't think it is my bedding. If I don't try to urinate before I accidentally fall asleep I usually have kidney/bladder area pain that lasts for almost a few hours. Other wise my back and chest usually hurt. I also have been told by a Doc that I do not breathe right but why would I feel like a buch of weight has been crushing me now. I am 27. I apparently couldn't breathe right at 14. I am also a female. My dad also has sleep apnea. I've wondered this myself as I have a lot of symptoms except the main one of being over weight. Oh but yesterday I was woken up to a side ache! I can't find any thing on that. Thanks for any info. Talia
