Doctors said im FINE! why am I feeling this way then!!!!!

Hi,

I know thisome is an old post, I wadon't wondering if any of you with the similar symptoms are feel8ng better mentally and physically?

I seem to have developed this chest pain which started all of a sudden one Saturday whilst I was just at a family party. Nothing to trigger any chest problem, just a sudden tightening pain and (the scary bit) slight shortness of breath. I went to the emergency room for a check and they ran a few tests, however they came back to me saying I was a healthy 28 year old. This made my day, however I was still feeling a little pain, nothing major. I was fine to work through following Monday and Tuesday with delight discomfort but nothing that stopped me from working, however the sharp pain came back on Wednesday. In between this time I had a chest xray which came back fine. I had to miss work to attend another emergency room, having run the same tests again the did not find any problems however I knew this is was not normal. When you here them say it's fine the pain slightly subsides which is a little strange, probably anxiety.

A week later after a few 'back to normal' days I suffered severe (I would think) heart palpitations and dizziness during a lunch break at work. I tried to ignore this and turned to breathing exercisespace, however this only made matters worse. I was quickly taken to a nearby walk-in centre and there they saw that there was a slight abnormality with my heart rythym. This is scaring the helloyds out of me and now I'm overly anxious, my mind is not at rest. I have been told to go to my local doctor and request for a 24 hour heart monitor tomorrow (04 October 2016). This is scaring me ever so much , which I believe is making matters worse, but I can't help but think of it.

Has this happened to anyone and if so how did you go about getting this treated etc?

By the way I was on holiday in a really hot country for 2 weeks. I returned 2 weeks ago, the problem started 6 days later, not sure if this is linked to my issues at the moment?

Someone please advise.

Hey I'm the same age with the SAME EXACT situation. What I found was anxiey is a very real thing and while I was convinced it's physically medical, I was told it was all mental which leads to physical symptoms, I've done x-rays, stress tests, ekgs, blood tests, normal blood pressure, heart listened. All tests were normal. Anxiety gets thr\e best of us, while I'm still scared and worried at this moment I was told it's from anxiety, ALSO if you lift weight and workout that also triggers it, cyto sketal pains/ pinched nerves. All this together!

I'm having the same issues, so I know how it is and I'm really sorry that you're going through it; it's super scary. I always feel like I'm having a heart attack or about to have one. Right now, the left side of my face, arm, leg, and chest are uncomfortable/tingly/tight and have been for hours. I had an EKG a few months ago because of these symptoms and the doctor said I was fine as well and it was just my anxiety. It's so hard to believe the doctor when we have these symptoms. I went back like a month ago and they refused to give me another EKG because they said I'm fine, but I wish they would have checked so I could have peace of mind. I might go back tomorrow and try and get them to give me an EKG  

Hi, has anyone got answers to this? My husband has been having the same symptoms and we're at the ER now and the Dr said there's nothing wrong!!!

Hi Tiffany my name is Luke and I'm a 19 year old male and I have the EXACT same thing. It is making me depressed because most of my day I notice my heart beat in my chest and even in my stomach and the left side of my chest feels almost tender. I've been to two cardiologists and they both say I'm healthy. At night when I try to sleep I can't because all I can feel is my heart pounding in my chest. But I know I'm not imagining these things because I know a few short months ago i did not feel this way. It gets worse when I have alcohol. Did you find out what it was?

They are saying your organs arent in danger. Thats what the drs are telling you. You are lucky so be grateful on that aspect.

Now see a doctor that can explain this and help guide you to manage it. A psychologist, a counsellor or a psychiatrist adrenaline rushes are felt. Your body feels it and reacts to it. It is real. Its just the body knows how to handle it i guess. The core problem is coming from your mind..fight or flight and yes its triggering stress hormines and adrenaline thru you, thru your nervous system and the bidy hurts from it its just nit dangerous and doctors do not know how to fix it. A good decent mental professional can explain it was better and hopefully guide you on ways to manage it.

try to ignore any stigma you have or the people around you have with any mind glitz or issues ....all this because it is real whether or not it is validated. It is very odd at this point in time that gps, er, all medical professionals dont acknowledge it with the needed compassion and intelligence. Its one of every five people surely even the brightest drs know a person with an anxiety disorder. The world needs to stoo avoiding it and sweeping it under the rug because way too many millions and millions of people are suffering with it..age is irrelevant it doesnt care about age.

this bugged me because i dont understand how no one in the top notch hospital sat down with you to discuss mental health and anxiety disorders following the results of the exams.

I feel your pain I'm 27 years old and I'll with anxeity I have chest pains numbness feel sick sore heads problems with my vision the list goes on and on I get brief spells where they leave then come straight back again it's horrible I have been prescribed propananol and sertraline for the past few months and not helping had every test you could think of and everything fine I just wish it would go away daily living is becoming terrible worst thing for me at moment is my head feels as if it's spinning constantly
