I'm 20 years old female & I've been having so much problems. Ever since I could remember I went to the doctor with hypertension and the doctors always say it's not normal for someone your age! As the years went and ever since I left high school I wake up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart that makes me feel like a heart attack that caused me to call 911 on multiple times. The paramedics and police come and look at me like a nut job. My doctor did some blood work this was in 2012 and the blood work came back fine, now in 2015 I'm having MORE symptoms I get NUMB all over the leg. I was beginning to think I had a circulation problem. Then in the morning I wake up with pounding heart and feel chest pains all over! No specific place and sometimes I feel this weight over my chest,! And now at the moment I had this pain in my right shoulder that got worse when I breath accompanied with chest pains. I just recently seen a cardiologist and they did a echo which came out fine, EKG normal, wore a heart monitor. They said that was normal but at certain times my heart rate would go up with mild excercise and when I get stressed, is that normal? They dismissed it at that and said everything is stress and anxiety related and I need to go on phsymeds but I am very hesitant over that because I hear bad things . Do I have a underlying problem? Is there more I should be looking out for ? Why do I have chest pains everyday? I'm probably going to get some up to date blood work today and I want to go to the ER but they keep looking at me like a NUT. And treat me like I'm stupid! I'm 140 pounds 5'4 I feel like my diet isn't good but I'm working on it. And I don't excercise. I also get frustrated upset really easy. I don't wanna make another trip to a ER with un answered questions. :( but I'm in real pain my family thinks I'm fibbing and attention seeking but I'm not! I feel like I'm dying and the look I get from medical professionals emmbarssing me! Idk what to do. I do feel better with Xanax occasionally, but my doctor won't prescribe because it's asddictive which I can totally understand. :/
