Well first off let me start by saying I am 19 years, Male, Non-smoker, Not overweight. 5 foot 11 180 lbs. And in the past 3 months I haven't really felt myself for 1 single day. Everything started about 3 months ago back at the end of September, I went camping for the weekend with some friends and family and I drank all weekend long for 4 days, Once I got back home after about 2 days I started vomiting, was nauseous and couldn't keep any food down this went on for about 5 days before I finally decided to go to the ER. Once I arrived in the ER they gave me fluids, ran some blood work (which came back show my liver levels were slightly high) and prescribed me a few Zofran to help with my Nausea and referred me to a GI doctor, I went to him and he told me told me that I had acid reflux and also probably had shocked my liver and was in temporary liver failure. I lost 10 pounds in a week. I was constantly checking my weight multiple times a day and also checking my blood pressure 3 or 4 times a day. All this time I thought that I was dying and I also kept researching my symptoms only to find out that made me feel worse. I started to feel better and of course started to feel sick again, went back and he ordered a Endoscopy to check for Celiac Disease and/or Gastritis.. Well it turned out my stomach looked slightly inflamed and they took 2 biopsy's of my stomach, later the results came back as gastritis. Well not to long after this was all cured roughly, I started to develop chest pain, tightness and it got bad to the point I went to the ER on November 5th, this time they did an EKG (came back normal) took a lot of blood (also normal) then admitted me for observation, they also did an Echo cardiogram (Also came back "stone cold normal" as the doctor referred to it) 12 hours later sent me home with a 48 hour holter monitor. I followed up with my Primary doctor to go over the results and they found that 2 times in the 48-hour period I had a first degree AV block, which my doctor told me is normal, nothing to worry about, and you don't even feel it happen. He asked my permission to go over my results with his father who has be a Cardiologist for 30 years, and he said he wasn't too concerned and that it didn't raise any red flags to him, they both pretty much determined anxiety. And told me to follow up with a cardiologist only if I wanted to, but didn't say I needed to. I really trust my doctor he has been a doctor for 15 years and teaches college students also. And I started to feel better for about 3 days, I had not chest pain, no nausea, no tightness I almost felt myself, my doctor and I discussed treatment with a low dosage of medication or therapy but we decided that I was feeling better it was not needed. So he told me to follow up in 3 months or sooner if needed. Not soon after that my symptoms came back daily again, The discomfort weird feeling in my chest that is hard to describe, shortness of breath and sometimes wheezing, nausea, chest tightness, with a dull achy feeling pain in my chest around the breast bone area, night sweats, my fingers tremor, I have heart palpation's not so much a racing heart, but more of a pounding heart. I keep thinking i'm dying or there is something seriously wrong with me, which from what I read is common with anxiety, also every little thing that happens or any little pain I think is related or is something major, I tend to try and self diagnose myself by researching online and I think that makes it worse. I'm way too young to have anything major health problem, and it keeps scaring me. I check my blood pressure daily and its never anything out of the ordinary today it was almost perfect 119/80 with a 73 pulse even though I was having chest discomfort. Is it possible to have constant anxiety symptoms that last all day long for days on end? Is it possible to have normal vital signs with anxiety? There's just so many racing thoughts since I into the doctors until after the weekend. The past 3 days I have had an upset stomach along with chest discomfort and a loss of appetite and even vomited a little. Sorry if that's too much for everyone to read, but I just felt it was appropriate to include everything I have been through in the past 3 months
