Please help me...

Hello All,

Perhaps one of you can try and help me figure out what is going on. I will explain a brief history of my problems first.

Going back 5 years ago, my blood test showed high cholesterol levels, liver enzymes, fatty liver....I was adopted so without knowing my hereditary background my doctor scheduled a barrage of test to find out why I had pains in my stomach. I did ultrasounds, A CT abdominal scan and nothing.

2 Years ago I left my job for a better paying one, unfortunately the environment I was getting into was allot more stressful. I am a hard worker and watching people get by without doing work because they have been ( Chosen) irritated me. Either way I left that alone and just continued to work. Every Friday afternoon the axe would fall and our CEO would fire people to reduce costs. This would make me very stressed.

A year ago the night before pulling my wisdom teeth , I was sitting on my couch and felt this immense pain in my right chest, I also felt like someone had tied a elastic really tight around my arm. I rushed to the hospital and they did a EKG (For heart attacks) and it came out negative. Finally the doctor at the emergency said it was probably anxiety attacks and the pain would go away.

The next day I saw my doctor and he redid a EKG just to make sure with a specialist, we also discussed my life (Work etc...) At this point I had still some belly pains, feeling like someone was squeezing my stomach. Eventually my doctor gave me some Nexium to sooth the pain. This didn't really help.

I was also very depressed at this stage and he prescribed Wellbutrin as a antidepressant. My confidence started to increase and suddenly one Friday I was called in to the CEO office. I fought for my job and he had told me he respected me for doing so.

At this point all was beautiful, I was getting back in shape, I was playing Ball hockey, baseball... and Life was great, I was breathing a new life.
During Hockey one bad thing happened I fell on my shoulder and tore a muscle while getting a hairline fracture. I was prescribed pain killers NAPROX to help with the pain. This went on for 5 repeats ( TO lazy to go for Ultrasound to see were tear is and Psyio)

Well this week was HORROR FOR ME!
After having the best 3 days (Sales numbers after coming back from vacation), people were complimenting me and calling me the BOOKER!!!
At this point after coming back from lunch (PIZZA and Fries), I sat at my desk and that's when it hit me.

I started having this immense pain in my right chest going straight down to my leg. I was completely numb, nauseated and I felt like I was having a heart attack. I called my doctor and he said I was going through another panic attack to relax and if continues to go to Hospital. I rushed to the emergency, when I got there there was a huge line-up so they did a EKG once more and the nurse told me it looked fine. I decided not to stay and go to my regular doctor.

I didn't understand what was happening, life was great saes were booming. My doctor then said it was the mix of the Naprox and my Wellbutrin that triggered this. Since then I have stopped the Naprox and will be doing Psyio starting Wed. Unfortunately the pain in my right chest still remains.

Now I get jolts of electricity once every 45 minutes or so, its really weird, sometimes in the chest, the head, my leg. I got one driving today and I freaked, straight in my knee, I pulled over and let it go.

Apart from the pain in my left arm that I had injured, my right side of my body is killing me. What can this be, am I having constant Anxiety attacks, am I getting heart attacks...

Please help...

Re: Please help me...

Most likely it is the med you are taking causing this. There is a post here, forgot where, people discussing the electricity like in various parts caused by anti-depressant meds. It may have been in the anxiety forum. Oh dear, wish I could remember where it was.

Anyway, you need to check with your doctor about this. Also withdrawal from some meds will cause this.

He said it was caused by the Naprox (Anti afflamatory)
He said I should continue the Wellbutrin no problems.

I guess I will wait and see

Re: Please help me...

Well I don't know about the last symptoms you described, but the first symptoms I don't think were caused by the med. because you mentioned having the symptoms before taking any antidepressants or anything.

Sounds to me that you are under alot of stress and that may well be causing your anxiety. Anxiety attacks are very common within people who under alot of stress and depression has often been associated with panic disorder also. As awful as they feel panic attacks will not harm you. A person can experience a panic attack out of the blue for no particular reason. Many people report different symptoms during a panic attack some of the most common are:

Palpitations, a pounding heart. or an acclerated heart rate,sweating,trembling or shaking, shortness of breath, choking sensation, chest pain or discomfort, nausea or stomach cramps, dizziness...etc. etc.

There are a variety of treatments available, including several effective medications, you should ask your doc. about it, and make sure he rules everything else out beforehand.
