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

Hey how are you feeling recently.... I feel the same way. This is the first thread that really felt the same as me. I've had every heart test possible other than stress test and I'm to the point where I think it's my heart for sure and that they are missing something. I recently had mono and I thought that's what it was but I feel fully recovered other than my middle and left side chest pains. Sometimes it's tight sometimes it's sharp and sometimes it's weak. Idk what else to do at this point and I'm afraid I'm gonna die.

Hi there, I just came across this post. I hope by now everything is better and you're not even following this thread anymore. I think I exactly know how you're feeling. I gave had similar symptoms and I have seen numerous doctors, for the pst 15 years. The worst thing is that these symptoms feed anxiety, which in return makes symptoms worse. It's a vicious cycle. I guess it's important that doctors are king you that you should not worry. You need to learn how to trust them. They've been right with me , and I still worry. Couple of things you want to look for is gastric issues, which in my case have been diagnosed as the cause of palpitations, and as well your hormone and vitamine screening, and none of them is any cause of alarm and completely manageable.

What helped me is also acupuncture, therapeutic massage and any relaxation techniques.

We are leaving an extremely stressful, work filled, lives of meeting deadlines and obligations, and I guess the payback is restless and anxious days.

Basically, I'm sure you're just fine. Keep investigating with other doctors and start believing that you'll not have a heart attack. Relaxation techniques also help a great deal. Simply go out and do what makes you happy and what makes you eel alive.

Best,

I am having scary symptoms myself. I have been to the emergency room twice in the past week. The first time they kept me overnight. They released me after my final test (stress test). Yesterday I had a strange pain going down the left side of my face followed by heart flutter. I went back again and the took blood, EKG and chest X-ray. I ended up discharging myself as there was a 5-6 hour wait just to get an emergency room bed. I am regretting that decision now.

I forgot to mention the first overnight stay found me coming home with some kind of cold and severe cough. Have not slept in 3 or more days. I am exhausted. What just happened now is that I fell asleep and was awakened by a sharp pain that started in my left hand. This has now become a little numb with pins and needles. Also pains in my right leg, like I am about to have a leg cramp. I am scared, very scared and am anticipating going to emergency room again. Can they have missed something??

Hi, I am going through this as we speak. ECG all clear, bloods all clear, echo all clear. It is more than likely that its anxiety causing all of this. Yes anxiety causes physical symptoms including: chest pain, dizzyness, nausea, palpitation, gerd, upper back and neck pain. The symptoms are more obvious if you are looking out for it. I bet none are in pain when you are a sleep? That's cos your no longer focusing your attention on this. Go for walks, take time off work and smile. I have been going through this for the last 2 years now and yet to have a single symptom free day. Pray for you all. X

I had many of the same issues as well and I'm 41. It all started about 4  years ago. Took me 4 years to find out I had a Hiatal Hernia which was causing all my issues. Now I still have them but it's much easier to deal with them since I know I'm ok.

I too have had your syntpoms. My advice is to see a cardiologist, not a neurologist. I was found to have sick sinus syndrome which affects how fast the heart beats. I was really light headed and passed out several times, very lethargic, etc. Turns out my ekg showed my pulse was only 48 beats per minute, had a pacemaker inserted, and now I feel human again. Just something for you to consider. You may also want to get another opinion from another doctor, not all doctor's know everything, and instead of saying I don't know, they say it's all in your head, or that there is nothing wrong with you and I can't help you (medical talk for I'm not qualified or care enough to find out what really going on with you). Don't let them treat you like this, ask them if I were your family member with these conditions, who would you tell them to go see? They will usually tellyou the name of a doctor who is probably more qualified , so go to that doctor and get their opinion and take it from there. May God bless you and keep you in his loving care in the meantime and I hope you can an answer soon.

I feel you I have the same problems that you've had it was the worst thing that happened to me it started a week ago i was rushed into emergency twice bec i thought that i was having a heart attacky chest feels thight it makes me hard to breath I I feel that I was weak I'm feeling light headed and i feel that I was about to faint but I don't actually faint but the doctors said I'm perfectly fine they said that o was just having a panic attack because panic makes the situation worse they said that it was just anxiety they advised me to go into a psychiatrist because they are the only one who can help me but psychiatrist. Cost a fortune where I live so I've just set my mind that if ever the situation occurs again im just going to ignore it and continue with my life I'm not letting this feeling take me because think that the reason why the doctors doesn't see anything wrong with us is because we are all absolutely fine there's nothing wrong with us the feelings that we had its Just in our heads we are just panicking thats why we feel this things

and the possibility of BPD and Aspergers, the doctors refuse to get me tested, or provide some help for my anxiety they say I’m perfectly normal, yeah okay...

i know what you feel it happened to me just 2 weeks ago but i think i already beaten it iv'e been rushed to ER several times but the doctors said that my heart and my lungs are totally fine it just 2 weeks but i think that iv'e cured my self because i started to accept what the doctors said i trust them the reason why they see nothing wrong with us is because there's absolutely nothing wrong with us the symptoms that we feel it's just in our heads i still feel it to day to be honest it occurs in random times but everytime it attacks i just think that it's a devil trying to scare me and i must beat it by means of not getting scared because once you get scared you start to feel the symptoms again the hyperventilating and palpitation starts what i do just go with the flow breath properly try not to breath fast do not run and just accept whats happening once the situation feels okay again just don't think about the symptom and convince your mind that nothing bad will happen to you and just continue what you are doing once you've done that it's game over for the devil you finally won the panic attack will go away and you can be more comfortable and ready when the time the devil wants to scare you again i hope this helps

I have been having this problems for almost 4 months now. I had EKG, Nuclear Stress Test, chest x-ray and every test to make sure it is not my heart. I have seen more than one doctors and they all said everything is fine with me and it could be anxiety ( I am happy to know it's not my heart). 

It was even severe yesterday and even though I was trying to tell myself  that the pain is not there but all in my mind which I must control, it did not help and I landed in emergency room and went through all this scary tests again ( hospital or doctor's office scares me) with the same conclusion from the doctor that it may be anxiety.

I explained to the doctor that, I do not enjoy hospitals which I think it is obvious and I am not an attention seeker neither am I a pain pill abuser ( Pain Pill doesn't work on this anyway). I am an outdoor person and active.

I do not do any hard exercise or even treadmill. I love nature so I spent lots of time traveling to new place. I eat healthy, I don't smoke or drink caffeine or alcohol, I am happily married and not under any form of stress.I don't even do all this because i am obligated nor am I too careful to do them but rather, it is just my life. So how can

I have anxiety without knowing? He said it is possible to have it without knowing. 

I do not even give my mind time to even feel bored to start giving me sickness that is not there. I am not trying to say the doctors are wrong but it's just confusing that all this unexplained stabbing, twitching, slashing, heart pounding, dizziness and shaking could be absolutely nothing but imagination.  

I thought I am the only one so I started searching and found this trend. I was giving inflammatory meds which did nothing and as of yesterday, I was giving light those of muscle relaxer ( I can't tolerate addicted meds ) which will last for about a week. I started it with doing more positive things as always but the pain is still on and off.

Hopefully it goes away soon but if not, I will have to see specialist that can help me find out if it's really anxiety since I could not find it after self observation. I do not like this taking over my life and what I will not accept is that this pain is psychiatric issue because it is not.

Too bad we are going through this. I do not believe we  are all imagining this an explainable pain so let us continue sharing and finding solutions till we get one. If it is really anxiety or not, let us try everything possible to find what is causing it, a cure and how to prevent it.

Good luck to us and others 

Hello,

I have been feeling the same way. Crazy weird pains in the middle of my chest and neck. The pains come and go and it drives me crazy. I try not to dwell to much on it as I have had a blood test along with a urine test and they have all came out fine.

As hard as it is, you have to trust the doctors and know deep down inside that your fine and it's the anxiety playing with you.

Hope you feel better soon!!
