Not felt right for months, doctors say I’m fine

Posted , 28 users are following.

I haven’t felt myself for the past probably 6 months. Been in and out of hospital as I had heart palpitations and chest pains and then one day I felt like my face and arms were droopy/numb. Had many heart tests, ct scans, blood tests etc. All came back fine. I keep getting lightheaded and feel spaced out, get random pains/sensations, heart palpitations, headaches. Don’t know what else I can do. Anyone else feel like this? Only possible diagnosis is anxiety but I don’t think it is this as I know the difference.

    Anxiety can manifest in different ways and change. Symptoms may shift. Sounds like anxiety. Are you taking medications for anxiety? It's amazing what anxiety does and we probably all wish it were something different than mental illness.

      No not at the moment. I’m having one more test to rule out everything else before that. I’m starting to accept that it could be anxiety it’s just weird because I’m not an anxious person. But like you said it’s amazing what anxiety does!

    i'm 20 years old ; i feel like i cant breathe some days, i've got chest tightness but it is more of a heavy feeling than anything, not actual acute pain. i fear deeply that i am dying and i've got pain in my back, the back of my neck and the front of my neck especially, feels weirdly tender - i've had blood tests, lung scans , ecg tests and neck ct scans .... all came back perfectly healthy i dont know what to do ? doctors all say anxiety but it doesn't seem plausible, i think i'm dying. I do have an anxiety problem, but these symptoms just do not make any sense at all to me ... has anyone had a similar experience ? especially with a tender front neck ???

    im 21 years old

    so i've been having the same problems

    it gets worse at night when im laying down i have to deal with rapid heart rate chest pain irregular heart beats , every day almost every other day it feels like my heart drops out the bottom of my chest and it stops me in my tracks i can feel it in my throat and chest its very intense i think its high blood pressure heart beats randomly!!.. its much more worse than i can even describe i cant even drink liquor it makes it worse and the worst thing for me is feeling like i cant breath and that happens a lot ill lose my breath and start freaking out

    ive been to the hospital 6 times and they do blood test and watched my heart rate and they tell me everything on blood work comes back very healthy and asked me if i had anxiety issues... i do have anxiety but this wasnt happening to me 2 years ago this is something thats been constant occurance for 8 months

    its even hard for me to run causw my chest feels like its about to throb out my chest i can feel my heart beat in my neck and back hard

    it gets so scary sometimes i start making myself think theres more wrong with me and doomed and my heart will stop

    im going to a primary care doctor this month on the 22nd to see if they can recommend me to a hesrt doctor

    anyone have any suggestions on what helps with this

    any vitams i should take ?

    any thing that helps make this go away a little would be amazing

      sorry im omly just seeing this. mine also gets worse when i lay down! 3 years later i still have the same symptoms just more managable i guess. i have a feeling you have an rctopic heartbeat like me, nothing to worry about but causes palpitation when drinking alcohol etc. ive trained my mind yo ignore these symptoms but its not easy and doesnt always work. really hope youre feeling a bit better

    I don't know if this sound familiar to anyone, I Have a peppery sensation around my penile, I took several antibiotics for it. After that I started feeling sick, uneasy and tired. Since then I haven't been alright, I have gone to the hospital for CBC, abdominal scans and all result came out fine. I feel chest pain sometimes, abdominal cramps and also a weird feeling that I can only describe as tiredness. Sometimes I cant describe this feeling. I am so scare now, I don't even feel around the world again. Please what could this mean? Because I can't think right anymore
