My story.
About two years i wasn't feeling well at work. I had the shakes and shortness of breath. I had a coworker take me to my doctors office where I ended up having a "panic" attack. I then had a short ride to the local hospital because my BP was very high and I was hyperventilating. While there, I had a CT scan and EKG and nothing was wrong. I spent one night there and went home the next day. So back to the doctor. thought it may be my heart. So, I had a stress test and said it was abnormal. So I have an angiogram don't and everything is good. No heart condition issues. What next? Doctor send me to have a upper GI scope done and don't see anything there. I go a while and have some bad days and then back to the doctor. Let's have a lower GI scope done and we'll what is going on. The lower GI scope shows a little irritation but they don't do anything during the procedure(widening or stretching of the tube). They say I have GERD and I try 3 different meds that don't work and actually make me feel worse. I stopped taking them. So, I have symptoms of Shortness of breath, nausea and headaches). Some days I don't have any symptoms. Injustice read an article about anxiety not always being a mental issue but physical. That's where I feel I am. I don't feel like I am a worrier. So I never thought I had anxiety. But strongly feel the I don't have GERD. This has been going on for 2 years now and am tired of feeling like crap. I am actually on a men's getaway fishing trip which should relax me. Right? Well yesterday I felt aweful and didn't even feel like fishing. Almost ruined my whole day. It was beautiful out and had to stop fishing early and sit on the couch for a while. I am at my wits end with this. I forced myself to go out fishing in the afternoon and was able witness my fishing partner catch a nice pike. If I didn't force myself outside I would have missed that. I'm just tired of all this and not sure what to do anymore.
