Panicgirl13,
It is crazy as crazy can be. Then when you show up to the same ER - they look at you like AGAIN? lol. I think my last ER trip cured me from racing to ER though. The ER dr. was very nice and listened to me. We also had a good laugh about how many EKG's, CT scans, MRI's, Xrays, and blood work done. I had the MRI somewhere else and I was telling him I got the MRI and the results were ...and he stopped me and said..Normal? haha. I said yeah - so we had to laugh.
My first issues began in June when I thought I was having stroke - million dollar work up later.......nope - symptoms went away. Then they moved to my heart - so now, I am having heart attack - or so I think. I don't care if they think I am goofy anymore. At least I will get the tests and know that I will be living.....haha.

I have been declared "normal" and labeled with anxiety. I obsessed that I was having a heart attack for 2 1/2 months. I obviously have never had a heart attack but I believe I know what one feels like because of my terrifying symptoms. Chest pain, arm pain, jaw pain, heart palpitations, just feeling like death is near. I'm a hypochondriac. But unfortunately no one in my life understands me... They just think I am crazy. I think I am dying 365 days a year. I am on medication with no successfulness. I feel your agony....
