Sounds like a lot of the people on here do not have insurance. Telling someone to go to the doctor who does not have insurance is definitely not going to reduce their stress. I deal with my husand stopping breathing at least 2-3 times a month and sometimes 2-3 times in a week. My husband is a quad on a vent and I have his fulltime care. I tell you what though, I would not switch lives with anyone on here. I'm sure your wondering why and I am happy to tell you. Instead of complaining on a computer and asking questions of people who could never tell you what is wrong GO TO THE DOCTOR OR FREE CLINIC!!!! Websites are very limited and may be wrong. I have the same symptoms but I know that I have a thyroid problem. I have a lot of stress but nothing to be done there. Either you go to a doctor or try some c**p that someone told you would work and then your family gets a "phone call" that your not coming home... Just sayin'

I have the exact same symptoms but with a high blood pressure... i thought it would be because of some diet pills I had taken but after reading i could directly relate with anxiety and stress. I'm a law student and i will be done with law school in May and have had other ecnomical problems... guess i should relax and stop thinking about those probs.

I am a 32 year old female and January 2010 I went to the ER with chest pain with symptoms of a heart attack. I had a history of a DVT (Blood Clot in my leg) so I am very cautious that the pain is not a pulmonary embolism. They did a EKG and a CT scan and told me it was esophageal spasms. 3 weeks later I called 911 with the same chest pain with vomiting. They told me this time it was anxiety and Costochondritis. They told me I should follow up with a cardiologist. I saw a cardiologist and they did a stress test and an ultra sound of my heart and said everything looking fine and that I should see a pulmonologist. I followed up with a pulmonologist and they did several tests and everything looked fine. He told me to see my general practitioner who told me I have anxiety since I am a new mom (adopted a baby) and put me on Xanax, but now a year later she told me it can become addicting and can cause body pains, so they have taken me off the Xanax and now I find myself having the same pain although this time on my right side. I went to the ER this past week and they said it was just pleurisy; inflammation of the plural lining in my lungs. I don’t think that is what I have, because they can’t see that on an x-ray or CT-scan. So here I am with this pain and I guess it’s just anxiety. I wake up from a dead sleep with this pain. It’s like once the doctors cancel out pulmonary embolism and heart attack, they just give up. They don’t know what is causing the pain and shortness of breath. It feels like I have something lodged in my chest preventing me from breathing. This pain is constant and does not go away, it does not feel worse when I breath like pleurisy would. I hate to sound like a hypochondriac, but it really scares me that they are missing something. I had no idea anxiety would hurt so bad and for so long.

These were all symptoms of HELPP SYNDROME, a very serious and life threatening complication of pregnancy if left untreated. Seek medical attention immediately and tell them you need to get your liver enzymes and platelets checked. It is a diagnosis that doctors almost always miss if you do not already have high blood pressure. It only affects 1-2 of every 1000 pregnant women, but mother and baby can both die from it if it is missed.

Greetings to all!

I am a 24 year old female, i weigh 45K. I leave an averagely healthy life style, i and don't drink or smoke

i lead a very active life doing a lot of physical activity but i dont go to the gym. i work, study run a business.

i have recently been expiriencing pain on the right side in my chest and in my heart, its a hard pain to explain.

It gets severe when i am asleep and i find myself struggling to breath and last night i woke up with the same pain

but this time my heart was beating very fast.

 

I consulted a GP in March this year and she reffered me to a specialist (Cardiologist) i got all sorts of tests done,

CT scan', stress test, blood test and did an X ray as well, everything is normal and just fine the doctors couldn't see

anything. Now i am at work and started expiriencing the same thing again, its starting to worry me cause i wonder if

i am about to have a heart attack or what! I think my  dad died of a heart complication i don't know if that could be

the other element affecting me.

 

The pain can get very severe and my whole chest would be overwhelmed with pain, on my chest back and front!

i dont know what to do anymore1

 

kind regards!

I'm having these exact symptoms right now. I just started to play street hockey when my back started to hurt, soon after i began having trouble breathing. Now i'm at home with these exact symptoms. I'm an 17 year old male non-smoker, and this is the first time it has happened, what is most likely wrong with me?

Your problem is smoking and being sedentary. Ditch those two things and you will most likely see drastic improvement in your life.

Please help. I've been having weird chest pains for weeks. I've been to the ER twice, the urgent care, and two different doctors. I had a normal chest xray and ekg about 2 and a half weeks ago. I was also just given an ultrasound in my leg last night to check for a dvt, there was none. And now today I have a pain on the right side of my chest that hurts more when I take a deep breath and when I clear my throat, not when I cough though. If I make my boyfriend go back to the ER he will kill me. I also really just don't want to do it.
