Hey guys,
This is new to me. I am having some complications. Where to start i don't know. I saw a friend die of a massive heart attack in work (build up of calcium over 40 years and a bit broke of and went to the heart well basically sliced an artery in half). After this i started to take panic attacks which i have never taken before in the 27 then years of my life. I seen 5 doctors including my own GP who runs the practice who said i had tonsilitis in regarRAB to my dizzy spells sitting down and standing up and also explained the shortness of breath. A paramedic in the arabulance was able to tell it was panic attacks cause of the way i was sitting in my bedroom and that i told him my fists clinched when it took these dizzy spells. I got a new GP in my practice who is female and has been brilliant. I was having a dry cough and some slight chest pains when i went to see her and she prescribed me an inhaler because of the pollen (i am asthmatic) which did not ease the dry cough. I went back to her and she gave me a stronger one (this eased the cough and it hasn't been back since) however i have started to experience the chest pains and went back to her with this. she advised on a blood test, however there had already been 4 blood tests that came back clear and an ECG that came back clear, but she decided on another blood test cause of my family history (heart condition on my daRAB side). This came back clear however my blood pressure was high which had been twice (baring in mind i had walk for almost an hour and clirab stairs to the 3rd floor). At this stage i was then complaining about my throat as it was going horse and i was having to clear my throat on a regular basis even though there was nothing to clear. My GP had referred me to the city hospital in belfast for a blood pressure machine to monitor my blood pressure for 24 hours and also ENT for my throat as she thought there may have been a pulp in my vocal chorRAB this was after a month of monitoring and lowering my tone of voice. Blood pressure is fine i went to ENT and had a camera put up my nose to find some redness around my throat so doctor suggested it was acid reflux and prescribed me some drugs (can't remeraber the name of them but they began with N). Well bad news is they never worked its still here and i am getting more pains around my chest, ribs, back and lungs and sometimes my lower abdomen. My throat has gotten worse and my breathen when i am awake is a struggle and when i am sleeping wakes my girlfriend up because she thinks i have stopped breathing. This is a longggg story and i hope i ain't boring anyone. I have ruled out stress cause my panic attacks after the first few weeks i got over after seeing my friend die. My symptons are getting worse not better. I just need someone to tell me what this is and give me drugs to get rid of it so i can go back to a normal life. I am afraid of this being to late because serveral doctors where not able to tell even A&E. I am due for another appointment for ENT but i may not beable to wait that long i may have to make another appointment for my GP. I will add 1 extra bit to this. My apartment has been suffering some condensation (mould) and we have just got a de-humidifier. I have asthma. Is this related to my symptons and should i tell my GP and ENT? I don't also suffer from heart burn and neither do i feel ANY kind of acid coming from my stomach up to my throat. ENT doctor advised that this was happening and cells where being burnt by the acid which is where i was feeling the sensation of dryness and horseness at the back of my throat.
