I had my heart checked about a month ago when I started to feel some pressure on my chest specially on my left side, was told it was just anxiety. I felt dizzy, weak, nausea, etc.

Since then, I have MENTALLY and EMOTIONALLY improved drastically. Very positive regardless of what I have felt, dealt with a weak chest for the past few weeks, shortness of breath, lethargic, dizzy etc.

I recovered mostly from that but I just started feeling a weird/tender/weak chest sensation, feeling random stabbing pains/shocks in left side of the chest, underarm area and just recently started to spread to my shoulder blades (like a weird burning sensation). Last night I felt dizzy along with the pains, felt muscular tension more than anything in the areas mentioned previously. Feel dead tired when sleeping with a weird sensation of nausea and cant catch sleep.

I'm embarrassed to go back to the doctor. Should I hold out, and see how I feel? I just dont want to be surprised by a heart attack. I wonder if other people have gone thru this?

    See a cardiologist and have some test to check you out as this doesn't sound normal. How old are you and any parent with heart issues now or in the past?

    My wife had a heart attack for weeks,ok,pains in the chest,they said it was a Hiatus Hernia,until I took her to hospital,they said 'its obvious, she is having a heart attack'.

    See a different doctor until someone takes notice.
