:weep: I have been suffering for the last month with awful pains in my chest and back and a heavy feeling in my chest. Its been a total nightmare.
Even called out the paramedics at 4am one morning.
Everything seemed normal.
I have had a lot of stress and worry over the last year or so but to me i seemed to be dealing with it all ok. Obviously not!
Went to doctors, everyday for 2 whole weeks.
Diagnosed with lots of problems all of which never really seemed to add up.
Had blood tests which showed high levels of d-dimer blood test ( high blood clotting levels).
Taken into hospital. No chest infection, no clots on lungs no nothing. No answers. Told had Pleurusy. Still not adding up. nOt the same symptoms.
I often suffer with panic attacks and have always had problems with eating. Feel like im choking on food, even drinks often!
Not eaten in over 4 weeks now. Living off of build up milkshakes due to fact when i eat i experience a lot of discomfort.
Still have high d-dimer levels which docs seem to be thinking viral infection but none the less not knowing what is going on with me sends me into huge panic attacks.
The docs have said that is all anxiety related and beenplaced onto a cognitive behavioural therapy list but the pains are still as bad and the tightness and heaviness in my chest is driving me up the wall!!
I feel like im suffocating! Throat feels so tight! Its horrible. But it always seems to get worse at night and its becoming hard to deal with. I have to have someone constantly staying with me and the thought of being alone horrifies me! Im a single mum to a 4 yr old little boy too which does not help at all!
Not sure if anyone else suffers from similar symptoms at all???
If so and you have overcome them please give me some words of re assurance.
I feel like im going round in circles with it all and not getting any better. nothing is seeming to be working and i feel like im getting no where with it all and there is no way out!! Its horrible and its totally terrifying me.
Is there anyone who feels like this and has any similar symptoms!??
I would be really grateful for any help!!:flowers:
