Hey all I posted here before but forgot my accunt info, so I am back again lol. My other post was really long so I will make this short. I been dealing with GAD for almost three yrs now, I have had problems with my chest,stomach,head etc,,and had pretty much every test u can think of. For the past year I have have chest pains on and off, sometimes lasting all day and everyday. Then sometimes it goes away for a few weeks and comes back.
I been to my doctor many times for this, it is in the upper part of my left chest just right above the nipple. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes a sharp pain will come. Sometimes my chest feels numb, also my whole left arm all the way down to my leg. This scares the hell out of me, thinking I am going to have a heart attack at any moment of the day and makes me worry more. I checked my heart rate so muc that I broke my blood pressure machine.
In the past year I have taken many tests for the heart 3 ekgs, echo gram,stress test and another echo before the stress test. They all came back fine, matter of fact after the stress test the Dr. told me my heart looks beaufiful. After that I felt better and the chest pains went away for awhile, but now they are back. I used to work out with heavy weights up until a few weeks ago, some people have told me the pains maybe a pinch nerve or I messed up a pec muscle in my chest from using the weights, also from the high axienty I feel some days.
I have not have any of that checked yet because I really really tired of doctors and test. But I still feel I may have heart trouble and could die at any moment, even on lexapro I still feel this way. Like maybe the Dr's missed something or now it came on or that I will cause myself heart trouble from worrying so much.
So am I right or wrong in my thinking, could I have heart trouble, is it something else or is it just this devil known as axienty. No one else seems to have answers, so maybe any of you guys who share the samething as me can help outy some. :)
