Serious HELP needed now.... :(

[crazyhayz]

Hi everyone, please someone help me out... im suffering right now as i type and i cant handle it anymore :(:( i dont know what to do, i spose i just need some reassurance..... Anyway, il quickly summarise.

Ive been suffering with GAD and seriously bad Panic Attacks for the last 3 months. I was suffering badly with chest pains (all on my left side right where my heart is) at first, then it kinda faded. But today, oh my god, they are back witha vengeance. Everytime i get the pain i get a palpitation and gop really dizzy :( I keep getting reallllllllly bad depersonalization/derealization, and my arms keep going rllllly weak :( I cant take anymore... Im on 20mg of Citalapram (was on 10mg but they upped it 3 days ago), and i was taking diazepam but only at night to help me sleep, but worried about getting addicted so stopped taking them.

I have had 5 (yes, 5!!) ECG's in 3 months, a brain scan, and audiogram (due to bad popping in ears, hearing loss and ringing in both ears), all my bloods taken & tested, everything is completely normal... But im still not convinced! :( I just want to accept its all anxiety/panic but i just cant!!!! I am sat here now having rly bad depersonalization, serious tightenings in my heart area (although i have been getting them in my right side too but not even half as much as im getting them in my left!) the constant feeling that my heart weighs a tonne and i keep holding my chest and can feel the palpitations thinking "any moment im just guna have a huge heart attack and my 17 month old son wont have a mum anymore" :( i feel really lightheaded constantly too, i know im not guna be able to sleep tonight... i feel im cracking up!!

Would an ECG show up ANYTHING that was wrong with my heart? I feel like asking them for an MRI of my chest, but i know they'll never do it.... please help :(
