I am new here and this is my first post. I Googled anxiety forum and this one came up. I am glad I am not alone, but so sad so many people are going through what I do every single day.
I just got married 3 weeks ago and I am driving my husband absolutely insane.
So my back started hurting a couple of weeks ago. And I mean, I went to the er thinking I was having a heart attack hurting. An ekg and blood work were normal and they wanted me to do a stress test, but it's thousands of dollars and I don't have insurance yet. The pain got worse. I went to the doctor who said I was having muscle spasms in my back. She put me on zanaflex and 800 mg of ibuprofen. I wont take the ibuprofen because I heard it can cause heart attacks. Went to the er again and the blood work and ekg were normal.
And here I sit. My arms, the underside from shoulder to elbow are aching like no tomorrow. Every now and then I will have a spasm in my chest. Then I have breathlessness, indigestion, nausea, headache.
Google.. brings me heart attack symptoms.
YouTube.. brings me my heart attack survival story.
THEY HAVE MY SYMPTOMS!!! I FEEL LIKE I AM DYING. :wacko: I just want to cry and wake up freaking normal.
Ive called 911 twice in the past, gone to 2 er's and my family dr...all say my heart is fine but I still feel these pains.
I just started counseling and its not helping. I already have OCD and now this?!
My husband keeps saying nobody has a 3 week heart attack. Logically, he's right, but why does my body say I can die any second?
I am terrified and don't know what to do. I just want the aching to go away. :scared11:
