Having a rough time, been a while -.-

I've been dealing with my "issue" for about 4 years now. Ill be 25 on the 29th and feel 60. I used to just feel anxious, increased heart rate etc and eventually the chest tightness, random aches in my back and chest. Then onto shortness of breath. I then moved onto full on attacks and feeling like you have 10 seconds to live. I now have been more bothered by these feelings of derealization etc feeling like I'm losing my mind and I always feel like I haven't slept in a week. I've had various ekgs, xrays, stress test, ultrasounds on my heart and chest etc always comes up normal. Right now I sit here with a tight chest, sharp stabs in my heart region off and on, fatigued and just feel ill. I use to smoke for about 6 years, gave that up about a year ago, sadly I drink heavily right now just to deal with all of this and now that doesn't seem to help. Just overall feel helpless and lost in life. As we all do I'd love be a normal person again some day. Gets old waking up and going to sleep feeling the same pains and sensations every day for what everyone says "no reason". Eh just needed a vent.
