I don't take any meds. Literally this just came upon me. I really think it is stress. I have 2 masters and a PhD - I am a teacher. Every job that hires me rifts me before I can get tenured because I am too expensive. I got rift this last school year and now I couldn't find someone to hire me. School ended on June 12 - by June 20th, I was having chest pains - that is when all this goofiness started for me. It went away until Aug. 4th. Chest Pains again - ER visit. A few days later it was stroke like symptoms......6 more ER visits in 3 weeks there after. When I got the MRI of head - all the stroke symptoms went away when they said nothing is wrong with me. Went 1 week with nothing going on - feeling better.......suddenly this past week my heart started hurting again. I can't even imagine anything is wrong with it because I have had probably 7 ekg's, about 8 or 9 times of blood work, and also 3 heart xrays. The last Dr. I went to listened to me and he said it is probably stress. Now though - it's in my head that I am not having a stroke so it must be a heart attack......I almost went to ER again last night......I controlled myself though. I don't even have veins anymore that they can find because they have been abused so much in 3 weeks. When I went this past Sunday - the nurse blew 4 veins.......and then finally got one after digging........

Stress and other emotional or mental problems compromise our health to a huge degree.
