Hi, My name is Lane I will be 24 Years old in 8 days. I am suffereing from severe chest pain .That I have been told is anxiety related. It all started like this. Sometime in July Me and My Baby's mom split up... This was devastating to me.. she later left to california ,only to tell me less than 24 hrs before leaving. The same night she left. I went to a friends house to cheer up .just drink some beer and such.. I ended up doing some "coke" after being clean for over 2 years. everything was fine but 2 days later i did it again. This time i did a lot more of it ..i mean a lot more.. at basically the end of the night i had sensations making me think iwas dying .. I would get blood rushes from my waiste that went up to my head and felt like constant running wavy water under my skin. This terrified me . then of course these lovely recreational drugs make people paranoid. It kept getting worse. finally i went to my mothers cause i can tell her anything. she brought me out of it somehow with lots of milk. very weird.... I felt like crap obviously after that .. A week at most longer i was feelin really sick and just over all fatigued. Another week passes high fevers...and i cant even drink alcohol ..its awful.loss of apetite.dizzy niss comes into play. I find out that I have Mononucleosis. within a few hrs of leaving hospital.. lmfao i was back cause i had severe abdominal pain.. I ate too much breakfast putting pressure on my spleen. I was afraid to even have a bowel movement cause of rupturing it. THis is the anxiety part kickin in.. After a week the over all mono part was pretty much gone. i was diagnosed oct 1st . did the drugs first week of sept btw... or second. Well in my time to get better .. i was over all just tired all the time.. I would get heart palpitations at work .almost always when my night was almost over. severe chest pain. I couldnt even drive. or sometimes i could and i would get dizzy while driving and have to pull over. one time a friend came and got me and i still had palpitations in the seat next to him. Over the next few weeks i lived in the emergency room i could not be dragged away. even taken by ambulance once. I would vomit. and get nautious. and i would think i had every little illness from readin websites. Several ekgs at most read irregular rythmn but nothing harmful. I was diagnosed with anxiety and put on both paxil and ativan.. The ativan relaxed me butthe paxil made me feel very sick. after a week i dropped both meds. however i still get bad chest pains. pains that run through my armand fingers and palm.and down to my feet. i feel it in the right side also but not as bad. it almost feels like it is in my breast . (lil bit of man boob going on). i actually feel better in a sense with no meds. however i have trouble sleeping . still get jumpy or scarred easily. or even tired. this is personal but even masturbating isnt possible nemore.. i dont know why.. I got some more tests and such as well they did find a couple of white spots or leasions on my brain . they ordered a mri,and a echo .. also they r going to make me wear a 24hr holter monitor. I suppose all this will come back negative.. and it will be my anxiety.but i cannot escape the thought of something else being wrong. i have circulatory problems or so it seems .shortness of breathe.trouble sleeping.And now because of malnutrition and lack of sleep which i cannot help . i feel that the mono is making a slow come back. Well neways this chest pain stinks. is there anything out there for anxiety that wont bring me down as much or make me feel sick like the paxil did. If anyone else has related problems please let me know
