Hey, read everything u said n im sorry to hear about your family and whats goin on with you.Im replyin back cuz i know how it feel's im a male 20 years old n have been getting the same symptons you have been getting. Feeling light headed feeling im im gonna faint, tingly feeling in my arms like not enough blood is circulating, upset stomach gettin hungry every 2 hours, irregular heart beats either to slow or to fast,cant sleep right either!No heart problems in my family history either, im concerned cuz im only 20 n feel like ima have a heart attack or just die someway one of these days because i cant figure out whats goin on,But i kno im not going to its all in my head!!! had the KCG and Echo test's done on me...both of them came out fine n i still feel weird everyday ive took some anixety pills to they thought it would help but hasnt really.I wanted to kno how your parents passed? Maybe theres some genes in ur family or ur just really depressed.One way for u to feel better is to occupy urself and do things to avoid thinking bout ur heart failing cuz when i dont think about it it seems to go away, i kno the **** comes n goes throughout the day right? U just gotta deal with it and think of other things, if u keep thinkin about your heart or whatever problem it is it will trigger it more!!! i have asthma also so that sucks for my short breaths....well sorry for writin so long i jus wanted to let u kno ur not alone!! let me kno how ur doing now. take care.
Sonja, I am three times your age but understand what you are going through. Sometimes anxiety and depression cause pain themselves. I have been treated for both for years but only last year learned of the serious pain factor. I could have been helped years ago if I had only been told how much physical pain can result from depression. Since your heart has checked out okay, try not to worry about it. Anxiety causes horrible stomach pain and diarrhea, which I've had, and can cause great muscle and joint pains, which I've also had. It's not fair to hurt both in your mind and in your body, but darnit, that's the insidious nature of the condition. Trust your doctors when they say you are physically ok and work on the mental part. We are here for you and probably have hundreds of years of personal experience to share, if you don't mind talking to old fogeys. Stay in touch! Juniperbelle
