Hello I am 21 years old, I had panic/anxiety disorder for 3 years...mostly subsided now.
For the past 4 months now I have had chronic chest pains that would extend from left to center to right sides radomly, sometimes in my arms and in my back and left shoulder.
I have been to the ER and doctor multiple times and they have taken an ekg and xray and say they do not see anything wrong with my heart.
This is confusing me, I know it's not anxiety because i have had worst anxiety before and a benzo dosen't do anything, I have taken anti-acids, advil, and anything else that could help with the pain but to no help. One thing that did seem to help (but of course it could have just gone away since it comes and goes) was toradol.
What is going on with my chest? I'm geussing and hoping that since i have had this for 4 months that it isn't a heart problem cause i would be dead by now (if i can be proven wrong)
So, I have elliminated Gas, heartburn, broken rib, anxiety...well pretty much everything i can think of that could be causing this.
What is it and what else can i do to elliminate the possiblity that this isn't anything to do with my heart?
I'm too young to die :)
