Hi all
This past week has been hell. The drs at a+e found that my ecg had 'changed'. Apparently I have t wave inversions on lead III...at first they were thinking i had a lung blood clot and did a scan, no clot. They sent me home, still feeling palpitations and slight chest discomfort and 'left me to it'.
Well since Monday, my chest has been feeling tight. Not in one particular spot, but generally in the centre spreading outwards. I keep getting sharp pains in random places in my chest, the sides next to my breasts, in my breasts, in the middle... And as of last night I have a pain in my mid back, ,to the right of my spine. Its also sharp. I feel a bit acidy, but I feel like that often and am on esomeprozole to help.
Ive been back and forth to a+e, my gp, out of hours... they have done bloods (all normal, even did the heart attack enzymes one and d-dimer for clots, also no inflammation etc). Ive had 4 ecgs this week, all have continued to show these t-wave inversions on lead III. The drs arent worried about that (of course I am..!)
I am feeling some general discomfort under my ribs also, and been feeling a bit dizzy. Have had these feelings in my tum for a few weeks now.
Im scared to death that I have something happening with my heart, and that because Ive been to the hospital so many times this year, theyre ignoring me. Today has been hell. These symptoms are so real, and are happening, but I cant tell what's causing them.
Does anyone have any idea?
Please, please, Im so desperate for advice. My partner is getting very frustrated with me, but I am so scared

Sorry to make it a bit less 'waffly', symptoms are:
- Sharp pains lasting seconds to minutes in chest. Can be all over, left side, right side, upper back, centre, breasts.... only since Monday and continuing.
- Pain in back - especially in one specific point in mid back to the right of my spine (about 2 inches to the right). It is sharp, and can happen randomly. Since Last Night.
- Feel a bit Short of breath. Drs say I have 100% SATS.
- Feeling sicky a lot. Sore stomach for 2 weeks. Acidic at times.
- Finding it hard to feel comfortable - to lie without feeling stiff or pain.
- Sharp pains are the worst and most scary.
- Am 29, female, had emergency life saving op and ITU admission 18months ago after a gynae surgeon tore my spleen, several readmissions to hospital, ptsd, health anxiety.
