For a couple of months now, I have been
experiencing what I can only describe as a
vibration in my left chest area. I have
seen a cardiologist and have had several
EKG's, a cardiac ultrasound and a 24 hour
Holter study. All testing in that area
has come back normal.
These episodes happen countless times
throughout the day lasting several seconds
each time. However, I am either not aware
of them while sleeping, or they don't
happen while sleeping.
Since all of the cardiac testing has come
back normal, neither the cardiologist or
my soon to be former primary care seem
interested in exploring any other areas of
evaluation. All they suggest is that I
should "speak to someone", if this
situation is beginning to consume me.
Are there any neurological or other areas
I should begin to investigate. Any help
would be appreciated as living with this
continuously is becoming quite unnerving.
I believe that both your cardiologist and
your son wanted to refer you to a
psychiatrist but they probably thought you
would be offended by that so they didn't
tell you that directly.
You may consult some psychiatrist.
