Hi All, i'm hoping that i can find some like minded people that can possible help me out of this massive hole that i am in at the moment.
This is my first post and just wanted to see if the symptoms that i am currently suffering are related to Anxiety/Stress.
Way back in April i suffered whilst out at the cinema what i could only describe as a heart attack, pains in my left arm, tightness in my chest and headache, i went straight to A&E where they did all the relevant tests and stayed in overnight - everything was clear and i was all ok, i was then subect to various tests including echo, treadmill, 24hr urine, 24hr monitor and various ekg's again all clear, also seen a gastro doc and had an endosocpy and again all is good! but since April i felt like utter crap and my life has changed completley, no social life, depression and I have one of these attacks about once a month where i have chest pains and heart palputations and weird feelings, i'm then out of it for anything upto a week!. inbetween attacks i have the below symptoms.
Chest tightness
Terrible fatiuge - no energy
Left arm pain
Whole left side feels week - bad rib pain
Nausea
Stomach cramps
Leg cramps
Permanent rightsided fuzzy headache
yellow big toenails and thumb nails
Sensations that warm water is being poured over me
throat crackling
throat tightness / something always stuck feeling
pins and needles
leg pain in lower calfs
No one can tell me whats a matter with me and doctor recently told me that i might have to put up with it for two years until my brain turns off from the symptoms!, I have been given Pregablin which I have been taking for a week but nothing seems to be happening (150mg per day).
Does this sound like stress?, my job is a nightmare at the moment but i cant help but feeling i should be able to deal with it!, I'm sorry that this post is so long but I really am at the lowest point in my life right now, my wife is expecting our first baby and i should be hyper excited but instead i am just permantley feel tired, exhusted ans depressed. :(
