This could kind of be a long story but I'll keep it pretty brief.
I have chest pain. I have had worsening chest pain since March time. I have been to the hospital easily 30 times for investigation but every time it is ruled none cardiac. I am so dizzy I feel like I will lose consciousness at any minute and I feel like my heart is going to stop.
I've been told I have heart anxiety. I have a phobia of my own heart and I cannot function.
I cant walk, I cant feel emotion - all of these things end with my visiting the hospital with 'heart' pain.
Depression set in quite early on, I am letting my family down by being so selfish, why wouldnt I be depressed?
I would kill myself, but I cant do that to my wife and children.
Therapist isnt working. Medication isnt working. I feel like my heart is failing and because I am only 32 the doctors wont take me seriously.
I have (finally!) been put forward for a CT angiogram within the next few weeks, and I have just had an abdominal CT so that should rule out anything overly serious and hidden.
I cant shake the feeling that my heart is blocked and not working correctly.
I have had the following tests: ECG Blood Tests Echocardiogram 24 hour tape
The doctors think my pains are digestive and my anxieties are adding to it.
I cant remember the last time I had a good day.
I guess I'm having a 'what is the point?' day.
