I was an active teen who loved adventures and all that. I am 26 now and know I have health anxiety, but it did not come out of nowhere. On 2011 I had my first even of irregular beat/palpitations. Needless to say, it scared the crap out of me. At the hospital they discarded an emergency and was told to visit a cardiologist. The cardiologist had me on a 48hr holter monitor, he also had me on one more EKG and an echo-cardiogram. The test showed there was nothing to worry about. He told me to relax and to avoid caffeine. I have done this but the palpitations have persisted, they come and go, and this has been happening for many years now.
On top of this, on 2013, I was diagnosed with GERD and esophagitis. This has also persisted. I take medications for months and it gets better but once I put the medications down it returns. On 2016 I had my second endoscopy which showed my esophagus was healing. But to this day I still have issues and will get a third endoscopy this upcoming week.
Now, the last thing that has sent me into a very anxious state happened two days ago. I was relaxed, watching youtube videos when all of the sudden I felt a bit weird. And its really hard for me to pin point what I felt but I decided to drink some water. I immediately tasted blood, then started to simply spit blood for about 7 minutes. I panicked and called 911. Once in the ambulance I started to feel upper stomach pain. At the hospital they did a CT scan of my abdomen (which I was hesitant because of the radiation), an X Ray of my Torax and some blood tests. All of it came out fine. The GI couldnt see me so I got an appointment with him next week (the endoscopy).
I recently got out of the hospital and feel well. I was getting to relaxed again but then I spit a little bit of phlegm with a spot of "old blood". Of course, Im a bit anxious again. Well, not just a bit... Im worrying its something bad. Of course, spitting blood is not something to take lightly. I wonder if, taking into account the test done at the hospital, it could only be stomach related and not cardiac or pulmonary.
Anybody have a clue?
