-I've been having loads of symtoms for ages now and am actually booked in to see the doctor on the 29th earliest appointment they had. Sunday night though I did eat a large cheese pizza home made, then 6.30am Sunday morning I woke up with pain in my chest, funny feeling in my throat and burning - acid reflux everyone tells me, I panicked like mad but eventually fell to sleep at 8am.
Since then I've been having heartburn off and on. I'm not sure though as I've read so much about it being the same as heart problems and that makes me even more panicky, more so at night. Last night an hour before bed it felt like my throat was really tight and closing up, then I got in bed and tried to do a few mediation videos on YouTube but then I started getting a few pains in my chest, panic sets in, still feeling like my throat is closing but now with the pains and my left shoulder started hurting. It was hours before I got to sleep and just got up at 11.30 this morning, as soon as I opened my eyes the pains were back and my panic was back big time.
I've been having chest pains since I was 12 now and have told doctors years ago before and they just said it was the muscles but did no tests or anything.
Among my other symptoms I've been having for months now:
-I had been having slight spotting between periods (though it didn't really happen this month too much)
-Pains in my stomach.
-Back pain.
-Dizziness.
-Feel sick quite a bit.
-Have just got over a cold all over Christmas - had glands up and a lump behind my ear.
-Dry mouth.
-Needing to wee really bad sometimes.
-Bowel changes.
-Constantly tired.
-Constantly irritable.
-Everythings a huge effort.
-Constant fear and panic and dread.
-Tingling in my feet and hands.
-My ears ache.
-I've got little tiny lumps on my tongue on the side on the left at the back.
-I'm always clenching my jaw/teeth together.
-Yawning a lot too all the time even when I've had loads of hours sleep per night.
-Almost always been overweight.
-I had a slight pain in my tooth a week or so ago that stressed me a lot as I can't take toothache, it was in a filling but has since seemingly stopped, don't know if I'm getting another wisdom tooth coming through.
-I do have varicose veins in both legs, the mental health nurse thought I was making this up but she apolised when the doctor confirmed it.
Now I'm sitting here feeling cold (don't know if this is just because it is cold in here) I woke up with the slight chest pains and funny feeling in my chest, most of it is over the left side and some funny feeling in the middle, wasn't sure if it was heartburn again, so I've had a Rennie but it's still there, and I'm panicking so that's probably not helping, the doctors closes at 6.30 and that stresses me that's it's not open over the weekend, I've been crying off and on since I woke up. I also feel dizzy right now again as well, my arms feel achy, I had a slight pain in my shoulders again. And can't get the thought out of my head that's it's heart related. My nose is always somewhat blocked but I'm always trying to breathe through it don't know if that's why I feel dizzy. My back and neck ache like crazy as well.
I haven't had panics like this for ages now and hate it.
I've just moved and my chest pains came back left side and a pain in my left shoulder and my left arm feels weak and heavy and I feel really dizzy, I'm trying to burp to see if that helps. Sick and got a stomach ache now. Pain in my neck too. Am I just bringing some of those things on though as I've been reading about heartburn and what else people mistake it for?
No one is in right now but me and the dog. And I'm panicking I know I am and hate it. Don't know if there's anything really wrong or what I should do? Don't know if I should phone the doctors to see if anyone will see me, or 111 or just try and not think about it? Then I'm scared if I do phone 111 they will tell me to go to A&E. I can't go anywhere there's no one to look after the dog. I'm so scared.
I never phone doctors so you know I'm feeling it and panicking if I'm saying that. I'm one of those with HA that avoids doctors as much as possible.
Don't know if I should phone the doctors and see if they'll see me or let me talk to a doctor, but then scared what they'd say.
