Hello. I've had stomach pain for years now and don't know what is causing it. I have an appetite but can't eat much at one time because of the pain. My stomach always rumbles especially when I drink and I'm always burping. I was also hospitalized in March with pneumonia and collapsed lungs. I had a PIC line in during that time. Ever since then I've been having chest pains on and off and everytime I raise my arms there is pain across my whole chest. Any ideas what could be causing any of this?

Hi Christy

Welcome to the forum

My husband (C5) has had pneumonia a few times. The last time was after surgery when he was in hospital. We found that afterwards his appetite was very poor and he found it really uncomfortable to eat a full meal. So I would prepare small meals..little and often. Even if he thought he could manage a larger meal and then gradually worked up to a normalish meal. But even now if he eats dinner and follows with a big desert then he does get bloating and pain. So I would suggest little and often as regards food.

The pain ..sounds muscular but I am certainly no expert. I would get it checked out.

Sorry can't be more help.
