    Have you had the basic tests (ECG/EKG and Blood Test)?

    I have had chest pains on and off for almost a year now but doctor claims it is probably muscular as he has run several blood tests, had chest xray's and several ECG's.

    do you suffer anxiety or depression? these can make you think the worst and then you start googling and before long it spirals out of control and is a classic vicious circle.

      yes I do suffer with anxiety and depression and yes I did Google before even writing on here which got me really paranoid. I haven't even seen my doctor as with everything that's going on I don't get time to do anything for myself between all of my son's issues my youngest daughter's bowel problems my eldest daughter having verbal and physical abuse which has resulted in her bunking lessons and then my brother who now also suffers with depression tried to take his own life so I have been preoccupied with all of them and trying my best not to have a full on break down myself so i can be there for them all
