MS Hug

Hi everyone. Have any of you experienced MS hugs? If so, how would you describe it? I think I have had it before. The best way to describe the sensation I feel is a painful tightness in my rib area. However, yesterday I felt sympthoms that were so painful that I felt like I almost passed out. It was even hard to breathe, and it lasted considerably longer than usual. Does this sound like MS hugs? Have any of you experienced this?

I have have a couple times. The minor ones are what you described. The really bad one I thought I was having a heart attack and couldn’t breathe. It was in the middle of my rib cage though. I do know all symptoms vary the location and severity with ms.

Mine feel like tightness at the bottom of my ribs. No hard to breathe but like it’s just not quite as easy. I’ve only had it three or four times
