So I was just at the GP today, panicking because my symptoms have changed yet again; I now have the following;
- Dull chest ache all over
- Brief chest pain (5-60 seconds) on left of ribs and directly in centre
- Tight throat and trouble swallowing
- Belching or inability to belch
- Funny feeling when swallowing food, and generally a loss of appetite
- Uncontrollable shivering
Those 3rd and 4th ones are particularly worrying; I read somewhere that they symbolise "blockages" in the heart. I have had 3 clear ECGs and blood tests, and Diazapem - which I have started taking tonight - calms down some of my other symptoms to a degree, but the ache and tight throat continues, which means I get worked up all over again.
Have I got anything to worry about? I can't see a GP again until early January so I could really use some reassurance and experience. :( I constantly threat about my heart and I'm having trouble believing a month's worth of chest aches e.t.c. could only be due to anxiety.
