Hi everyone so approx 6 months ago i was having lots of chest pain, having gone to a & e i had an ecg/bloods/lung xray etc and all came back clear, so my doctor prescribed me omerzaprole, he thought maybe acid reflux, it wasnt this, i was then prescribed some anti depressants which did not work ( im no longer taking these) im not depressed im just down about what is actually wrong with me, so having agreed with me he thought maybe it was costocondritis, now he thinks i have some mucus on my lungs as i only blew 250 in a peak flow test last week( but my lung scan was clear), all these diagnosises are driving me insane, i just dont know what is wrong with me, and the doctors dont seem to care, my usual daily pain is to the left of my right breast, sometimes its just a twinge and other times its quite a dull ache, i also get a deep ache in my left shoulder, is anyon ein the same boat as me, as today i feel im at my worst.

Im female, 30 yo, obese( but been losing weight), i i walk plenty

many thanks
