the tightness around ribs- like a band of constant tightness and pressure- this is babesia, right? or do any other co infections present with this?

I want to get tested for co infections but it is expensive through igenex. I know this tight band around my ribs and difficulty breathing is a tick borne thing flaring- I assume babesia, but those of you who have had it what was it and most importantly- HOW DID YOU GET RID OF IT?

I think for me it's nerve related. And could possible be bartonella.

ceebs13 Thanks for the link! No that is not the feeling. Mine is more just a tightness like a pressure or squeezing- for a long time it was n the diaphragm but now more in the ribs- makes it hard to breathe or relax.

That is how mine was. It made me anxious because it felt like one wrong move and my back would go out...

Mine would last for a couple days...and then subside. It hasn't happened for awhile now...

thanks everyone. I am still confused about mine. two yrs ago I had the worst experience of my life with babesia air hunger so extreme. Ever since then I have fear of not being able to breathe. Have had a weird tight diaphragm for months now- and it also feels lie that tight band around my ribs- sometimes- sometimes just in the diaphragm, and I cannot tell if it is the babesia or a tick thing or not. I also recently tested positive for sibo but the tight diaphragm is my only symptom of that mostly if that is related. also thought it was a hiatal hernia but had that puled down a bunc yesterday my breathing was terribe-- today it is more just the tightness around the ribs. I cannot figure it out! got some bloodwork done today so wil see if that helps me figure anyting out
