I don't know what is wrong with me. It all started with my left arm feeling numb. Then i started feeling some pinching feeling on my chest. I went to the ER and they hooked me up to a EKG machine for like 15secs, drew blood, and took an x-ray of my shoulder. THey said there were on signs of a heart attack.
That was a month ago. I still have the occasional prick on my chest and in my left arm. Sometimes it makes me cry because I fear death. Some say it might be anxiety, but I don't think I even have anything to worry about. Sometimes my parents are talking about money issues, and I don't think I think about it much, but maybe I pick up on their stress.
I'm 23 y/o and I have to say I am overweight. at 5'4" i am at 220lbs. Sometimes when the symptoms come I feel like crying because I worry it something serious. At times I feel like a tightness on my throat and chest. My left shoulder/arm feel like they might go numb, my muscles feel tense. At times it feels like I'm experiencing the symptoms on my right side, although it's constant on the left. It gets worse at night, when everyone is settling into bed, I have been crying myself to sleep for the past couple nights. It just really makes me worry about it all.
I don't have any shortness of breath, I don't sweat, at times my thumb starts twitching, and sometimes it feels like my left side of my body is trembling within (although it is barely noticeable). When I think about the symptoms too much it makes me nauseous to the point where I can't eat.
At times it also feels like the needle pricks happen on either arm, my chest, the base of my neck, or the left side of my head.
What could it be?
