Rib pain

I just needed to know if anyone can relate.

I was told by the doctor that they think I have costo about a year ago as I had been getting stabbing pain in my left breast and shoulder.

I have had multiple tests and bloodwork done and everything has just come back as normal.

The pain is worsening, and I have some pretty bad health anxiety issues now. I have panic attacks while falling asleep as the feeling scares me.

Recently I have been having excruciating pain shooting from my ribs to my shoulder and then tingling down my whole body, as well as the pains in the breast that I started with. I've been coughing a lot and have a lot of mucus and have been told that it is inconclusive if I have athsma or not. It is also inconlusive if I have acid reflux. Palpatations, constant headaches day to day. The list could go on and on...

I've been to the doctors so many times over the past year, I'm only 21. I just feel hopeless and wish someone would help
