Not too sure anymore if I'm being honest.
26M Been dealing with a lot the past couple of years, but I feel like I'm somewhat getting worse and somewhat getting better at the same time. It all started about 4 years back, had a good job, girlfriend, friendgroup, normal things. I was really stressed when my mom was down my back for my job and telling me to keep it, everyday was a new argument with her, my girlfriend ended up cheating, my job got increasingly more stressful on top of taking care of my dying grandfather on my off days.
Fast forward a bit; one night after about a 14 hour work day, I lay down and my chest started feeling really weird and I tried ignoring it because why not? I ended up standing up and BOOM, my heart just started to race faster and faster, I run to get my phone and a glass of water and call 911, it eventually calms down after a while and I told them not to send an ambulance, I thought it was over. Not really sure what it was exactly. So the next day rolls around and I go to work and go home only for it to happen to me twice again and again. I got to where I couldn't sleep and had to sit up because if I laid down it would cause it again. I end up not being able to go to work and called off and it kept happening.
I end up quitting my job and going to the doctors, get put on a EKG, do blood tests, the whole shabang. Nothing pops up that shouldn't be there. I go home feeling kinda safe but, really unsure. Then it seemed like even small little fast movements caused me to have these things where my heart would race. It got to where I couldn't eat because my heart would skyrocket. Called the ambulance numerous times, and went to the ER a bunch, and they found nothing.
Things started to chill out for a little bit but would still get bad "heart racing episodes" alongside some chest pain, went to the doctors and found nothing wrong with me and I started to think it was panic and anxiety. The only thing is that even the least amount of exercise or fast movement will make my chest feel tight and I end up feeling a bit faint. It's totally ruined my life. I just want to get better but nothing stops the thought and the fear. It's all I constantly think about. I just want to feel okay and normal and happy again and have some enjoyment doing anything. I don't even sleep good. I just live in constant fear that something bad will happen to me. Every little thing that I do or think about gives me anxiety and uncertainty. I can't really walk or stand all that much without feeling fain, sick, dizzy, etc.. and basically what I'm trying to ask is; has anyone else felt like this?
