Hello, My name is Jorge, let me tell you my story:

It was November or 2011, I had been in my job for about 6 months. That day, I went out to lunch. When I came back, I didn't feel right, so I looked up the symptoms on webmd, what's the first thing that pops up? Of course heart attack symptoms. The same exact symptoms that I read online, I got. All of a sudden I had the urge to go to the bathroom, on the way to the bathroom, I felt like a hand grabbed my heart and started squeezing it, my left side went numb and I got really hot, I laid down thinking I was going to die. The ambulance came, they took me to the hospital where I was kept for 6 days. They performed every test under the sun, EKG's, Echo's blood test even a cardiac catherization to check for blockages. They couldn't find anything and they sent me home.

Fast forward 2 years later, been to the emergency room hundreds of times, seen multiple cardiologist, neurologist, endocrinologist, GI, and they can't find anything wrong with me. Ever since that day, 2 years ago, I haven't felt the same. Here are a list of symptoms I feel almost everyday:

Heart palpitations
Dizziness
Lightheadedness
Feels like I'm sweating on my forehead but I'm not
Unbalanced
Hot flashes
My ears turn red
Headaches
Sharp/dull pains Chest pressure/pain

That's just to name a few. I am constantly fearing the worst. I always question the doctors and say to myself that they missed something. There is no possible way that I could be feeling this way 24/7 365 for 2 years straight, and there's nothing wrong with me. I feel like I'm going crazy.

I am sorry with this long post, just want to know if anyone has ever had anything similar to this

Thank you

How you feel is exactly how I feel EVERY DAY. And I too, simply cannot underscore how I can feel THIS bad and nothing be wrong with me!
