I am a guy, currently 22 years of age. For some time in the past I usually have occasional chest pains which comes and goes within 10 minutes. I thought it was as a result of my sugar intake as I consume soft drinks a lot with little or no exercises so I decided to cut down on my soft drink to no avail because I always end up going back to it.

Fast forward to sometime last month, I traveled to Europe to get a medical degree and when I got here, I started living on junk foods, KFC and McDonald’s as I could not cook. The chest pain came back one night and I decided to complain to my dad. Immediately I complained to him, I became conscious of it and I started fussing over it.

I went to google and everything I saw about pains in the chest always leads to cardiac arrest, stroke and dying. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, I was always trying to check my heartbeat every chance I get. My dad said it was due to the junk foods so I stopped junk foods and soft drinks as my cholesterol could be high. I still couldn’t shake off the horrible feeling I got whenever I checked my heartbeat.

I started having panic attacks and difficulties with breathing and always feeling tired. I eventually went for check up and my heartbeat showed a beat of 68 bpm. I got checked by a cardiologist, neurologist and an orthopedic doctor and they all said my vitals looked normal, blood pressure normal, blood oxygen level normal, blood sugar normal except for the orthopedic doctor who told me I had to fix my slouching posture.

It’s been a week after the check up but my life isn’t back to normal. I can’t keep complaining to my parents because I gave them quite a scare with my first complaint and I know they have their own life to live but I’m just scared, I live alone in my apartment here and I’m new so no friends yet.

Anytime I check my heartbeat it still feels irregular,I can’t enjoy the foods I use to love, I get scared of doing strenuous exercises like jogging because I’ve heard stories of people who collapsed while jogging, i don’t enjoy my sleep anymore as I read that most people with cardiac problems die in their sleep.

For a week now, I have been going for evening walks to keep fit and exercise and I only eat once a day. I eat 2 apples every day and I swallow a capsule of omega 3 fatty oil daily. The only protein I consume now is salmon or mackerel fish because of their heart strengthening capabilities.

I can’t focus on my studies anymore but I can’t complain because I don’t want to bother my parents anymore but I’m scared. Some nights I wake up with panic attacks and every morning I feel happy for sleeping and waking up successfully. I hate how flawed the human design is. Sometimes I get distracted but as soon as I feel any slight discomfort in my chest, I check my heartbeat and it feels irregular. There’s occasional sharp pains in my head that goes almost immediately and sometimes I feel blood throbbing through my veins in different parts of my body. Tomorrow I’ll be going out to get an apple series 6 watch so I can monitor my vitals better.

Sorry for the long read, I just had to let all of thYou will be is out.

. What you have is anxiety / depression.You started with chest pain because of your fear of what could happen and it is still there it has led to depression Both can be managed Take Amitriptyline 25 mg or less .It will conttoll your mood and make u sleep well if you sleep too much you can reduce it The drug will control also your chemical imbalance engendered by your fear of slumping one day.Finally there is nothing wrong with your body organs .You will be fine with the drug

My best guess is that your problem is psychological. See a psychiatrist.

blizard44:
I wanted to tell you that it is Nigerian palava ,but you're not even living here.

Since you've seen the medics and they certified you okay, you should go easy on yourself.

I have similar symptoms.
Sometimes my heart beat furiously. It bangs against my breastplate like it's threatening to fall out

My hands shake. I'm barely 30 yet my hand trembles like Tanko Yakasai's.

But we no go kill ourself na

Anyday wey e wan be , make e be.

Nobody will leave here alive afterall.

bro i also have the same problem i am just 26 and my hands shakes alot especially if i want to hand somebody something or show someone something on my phone... is there any treatment for that?

I can only advice you to contact @ariellahealthandfitness on Instagram, she's your best plug. She has helped me and others.. thank me later.

Have you done ulcer test? You need to check that. Very important. It has happened to me. I was asked to do x-ray, ECG and others, all turned out normal yet my heart kept palpitation. Chest pain, and also at the back, burning sensation and lost of apertid mmmmm.

Hello, what medication did u take for ulcer?
I'm having same symptoms, I just did ecg, esculin and flp test. Even checked for h.pylori which was negative.

Please go and see a cardiologist immediately.

I lost a friend of mine exactly 1 week ago. He complained of chest pain on and off for about 2 months.

He slept and never wake up. He has about your age.

CHECK YOUR CHOLESTEROL LEVEL.

CHECK IF YOU HAVE ANY HEART DEFECT.

SEE A DOCTOR BEFORE IT GETS WORSE.

Please I will like to discuss with you. Kindly let's chat via WhatsApp 08030651947. Thanks

HRSweetness:


Wow. Thank God for His mercies and power to heal and deliver.

Can you please be gracious enough to share your experience in details.

How it started, what drugs? Was it a case of addiction? Also, what steps were taken that led to recovery and total deliverance.

You don't know who will be helped or saved by your shared experience.

Thank you as you oblige.

Well, it was during a time I wasn't a follower of God. So I wanted to experiment with a hard drug. I took it not knowing I will feel the effect later on. I was expecting to get high in an instant like alcohol.

So, when I saw I wasn't getting high, I felt I wasn't taken enough...so I kept taken it..thinking I need to take more to get high. Well eventually I stopped and gave up.

I went to buy food to eat. Then all of a sudden, I felt a dryness in my chest and I tried drinking water. It kept getting worse. My body was becoming numb. And I was getting dizzy.

I thought my food was poisoned. Then I ran in fear as the conditions became worse..tried running to the clinic...but couldn't make it. I just ran to my room and locked myself and was praying.

The fear I had that day was crazy...that was the trigger.

Now the next day or so...

I was going to class with a course mate. I felt heavily dizzy and I couldn't walk..and I told my mate, I feel like fainting...so I stopped in my track Nd eventually walked slowly back to my hall.

Didn't know wat was happening so I bought meatpie. thinking maybe it's hunger. It subsided but late came strongly again with more symptoms.

This was close to exams.

The symptoms were..

Heart palpitations...dizziness....anxiety...chest pain...shortness of breathe, narrow vision..heat flashes...the worse of it all was the mind torment. I csnt explain. You feel like you are losing your mind. And everyone is against you.

I ran to a doctor. He said its all In my mind..that's its too much worry...

I was like what is he talking about, I am suffering here in daily torment. I was even afraid I might kill myself. That maybe this how how people feel before committing suicide.

Anyways...he gave me a drug...but I couldn't take it anyhow...can't remember the name. The don't give it to people and can't sell it like that to people.

I took it...slept...(before I could hardly sleep because my heart rate can be intense and wake me up).

Now when I woke up early the next morning. I discovered the drug had its own madness on its own. Now I don't feel the symptoms..but I was numb all over and felt like a zombie with narrow vision. That's the only way I can say it. Even my Mom has to come visit me.

It was like this till I left school. I had to endure it.

At a point at home I went to a pharmacy to try get the drug..the guy said he couldn't give me. So he did a heart monitor rate Check...it was off the charts..the guys expression made me even more afraid.

Can't remember if he gave me d drug sha.

But eventually..I had started praying and deciding to follow God at that period and find out His call for me.

So two things happened.

So eventually I was in a Church meeting and they called out those with spirit of fear...I went and was prayed for..also had a vision of Jesus coming to lay hands on me and cast out a spirit. I heard the growl in my ears as it left.

Well, the rest is histroy.

I also discovered the spirit had been there since primary school. But was triggered by the drug event. The spirit came when in primary school when someone made me scared that it was the end of the world..so I remembered I was numb for like a whole week and couldn't function or think straight.

Well, that's the summary sha...the whole tale is longer.

As for the drug..I was listening to a song called "Lithium" by Evanescence one time. In the comments on YouTube I leant its a drug given to people with serious depression but it makes them lifeless and numb when they take it. I was like ..that's kind of the drug I took. But the name wasn't Lithium tho.

It doesn't cure it only numbs all the craziness.

Sylverly:
There are lots of questions I need to ask you, with respect to your specialists' visitation, history( both medical, medication and social; which you have given a little clue about). The possible investigations you have done and some suggestions and referrals. Hopefully, you are in Lagos. I would also like to have you see a Chiropractor for a reason. Don't try to argue the impact or connection it has with what you have complained of.

You can send me a private message and I’ll tell you everything you need to know sir.

Ogeneigbo1:



Go for H-Pylori or Ulcer Test ,let's see what the result looks like.
Talking from experience.
Wishing you fast recovery.

same thing happened to me. Did all the test on heart and all but nothing came out. I was advised to do H-Pylori and Ulcer Test. They all came positive. I treated it and I'm feeling a lot better now.

Plant based diet strictly

yoged:
Have you done ECG or ECHO ?

Are you a medical doctor or you once experience such symptoms before now?

Rahkman:
bro i also have the same problem i am just 26 and my hands shakes alot especially if i want to hand somebody something or show someone something on my phone... is there any treatment for that?

I wonder as well.

It's embarrassing, I must add.

I have not done any due diligence on it to know if there's a cure.

Effico5real:

Experience they say is a better teacher..

I hope he goes for these tests as every other cardiovascular test seems okay like he said.

Some of these little sickness can be deadly especially when they have eaten the system up.

HEAVEN4444:
so a cardiologist looked at these readings and told you that you were fine ? what kind of quack cardiologists are being churned out these days ? ok first off i see
1- a bunble branch block in lead v1
2-the repolarization ST segment in lead 2 is off
3- The PR interval looks long so thats AV node block

putting it all together, and you say you are only 22 but there is some kind of blockage in the lateral anterior descending artery. but since you are 22 maybe you have iron deficiency ? are you anemic ? have you abused antibiotics in the past that has messed up your gut flora ?

I sent you a private message sir.

My Guy, Pls take antacid and omeprazole. Thank me later.

dejol88:


Pls brother can you help with the interpretation of this result?

on surface level it appears normal but
1-lead 3 is negative instead of positive
2-lead 2, the QRS is a RS wave
3-lead 1 is taller than lead 2
4-P wave and T wave in V1 are positive instead of negative

the left circumflex artery is occluded.

Newguy999:
I sent you a private message sir.

alright brother you will have to send it to me at john7trumpetATgmail.com . i dont think i remember the email i used for this nairaland account

Sylverly:
Looks like a regularly irregular rhythm sef..Nawao. Seeing this as a pharmacist, I will raise some concern.

yup its definitely some concern there but i am sure we can get to the bottom of it

Frontail:
. Don't Panic about Death because everyone must Die
Why panic on what you know must happen

the earlier op knows we are living to die,the better for him,that's how one doctor mention test (ECG),i told my mum i ain't running anymore,am not doing any test.

The iron deficiency test I did showed a little deficiency in my blood iron content. I have never done a test for anemia. I have taken some antibiotics in the past too and I just noticed yesterday that I have this constant ringing in my ear too.

You have electrolyte imbalance.
You should buy pink Himalayan salt, take half teaspoon and mix it in water, you will see the difference. You should also look for magnesium supplement, buy avocado pear and some other multivitamins and take them and see how it will disappear. I have experienced such before and the moment I took half teaspoon of Himalayan salt mixed in a little water, I felt great. You will feel a kinda warm sensation on your chest and feel wonderful.
The issue is you take a lot of sugar previously and it has been knocking out your electrolytes and has made it imbalanced as you have been probably excreting a lot of salts, chromium, magnesium and potassium out of your system and this will cause the symptoms you just described.
But with you replenishing your nutrients intake with what I just mentioned, you will be fine.
I have also experienced such.
Take care

Its your mind making your body ill. No Doctor can detect the cause cos it not physical what I will advise you to do is take control of your mind.
Ways to take control of your mind
1. Do what makes you happy everyday.
2. Create a good affirmative word. If you are a Christian use words from the Bible
3. If you are a music lover. Listen to music that makes you excited or sing hymns out loud
4. Dont ever think of the conditions you are having.

I also had panic attacks sometimes last year. This helps me out.
Give it a trials.

We are in the same shoe, i am always thinking of dying. Which i wouldn't. Going for check up again tomorrow. Please if you found a solution. Please post here.

Absolutely everything I went through years ago! Honestly, I felt same way!

This is anxiety disorder and I only overcame mine after I prayed and went to the hospital and was told all is fine. Since then, I became free and thanked God for His Mercy.

I suffered this same problem for 6months almost a year! It’s all in your Head.
