I vistited my previous doctor at least twice a week complaining of chest pains,shortness of breath etc and he kept on telling me it was anxiety, iwas taken into hospital a few times with chest pains to be told the same, I did have tests carried out on my heart and was told because these was ok it has to be anxiety. I started cbt therapy and it did help with regards I no longer go into a massive panic with my chest pains although they are still there and still very painful. A cardiologist asked if I had had my tftp's checked in my blood (dont know what these are) and I said no as my gp is convinced im just anxious so she told me to change doctors which I did and guess what......full bloos tests,heart ct scan(which was ok). My blood tests have shown low b12 and low calcium which is probably caused by being anemic and has the following symptoms:chest pain.palpitations,shortness of breath,twitchy achy muscles and tiredness all of which I suffer. My worry is that by being ignored by my previous doctor it will lead to more serious things like stomach cancer which this can cause if left untreated and I was ignored for over 2 years so im waiting for my hospital appointment very stressed and angry with my doctor. Thanks for listening and sorry for the long post.
