    JulieJ, everything you describe is anxiety related IMO, especially in light of a clear ECG, and I truly believe you know that deep down based on your current situation. Needless to say, you smoke and drink and you know that's detrimental as well as you know what you need to do. Hope you feel better soon.

    thanks fmp, back from work and some of the pains have stopped or eased, think it was all a mixture of stress and tense muscles

    update - after having bloods done all my electrolytes were low plus magnesium and calcium which exagerate anxiety, have been in hospital, had my levels topped up via IV and had 2 ECG's heart is perfectly fine, levels low due to chronic IBS

    my only advice if any i can give is to go to drs and get full blood count, electrolytes, magnesium and calcium tested as this seems to be quite common from what the dr told me over the 2.5/3 days i was in

    hope this maybe helps others xxx
