Okay this is gonna be a lot to write....lol...

But this has been my first semester at a new college, I've had to withdraw from 2 classes, and will prolly pass my other 3...and workin' over 30 hrs a week plus bein a college student I think is taken a toll...I've been to the ER which started for chest pains, they took x-rays and said it was chest cosigondritis and would pass, and it did until sinus infection like symptoms started, to the point where I felt dizzy, went back to the ER and other doctors, until one of the last times I saw my on campus dr who told me to see a counselor cuz I could have sum stress/anxiety issues, and he said I did....and they said if the antibitotics dont work this time come back and they would try headache medicine cuz I would feel like my temples were tinglyin', eyes blurry and everythin'....and now its kinda gone all of those, and is replaced by a chest tightness, and indegistion, burpin' kinda feelin'....like I have had ekgs done and they said everythin' is fine, but damn I hate this tightness, I jus want it to go away, any suggesstions? And I've also started to dip again, which helps for awhile, but then it comes back...last night it was really bad tho, and had really rapid heartbeats but it passed, so I mean it has to be due to stress and anxiety right? I was almost ready to go back to the ER last night, but I don't have any insurance and cannot afford that.....so any ideas on how I can convince my body it's ok? my counselor told me a story of how this woman had panic attacks, and she thought she was havin' heartattacks so they hooked her up to an ekg and made her excerise durin one to show her shes ok, so I'll go do sum excersies, and they help a lil'....but idk...it's really startin' to drive me crazy!

And my mom also suffers from anxiety attacks to, and takes xanax to deal with hers, so could I of inherited it from her?

And also, I used to have sum bad habits I used to do, but recently stopped b4 all this happened b/c I told myself I don't wanna rely on false highs in my life and everythin', and I feel like since I stopped, all my stress has slapped me in my face and now I'm bein' forced to deal w/ it, and it's hittin' me so strongly.....idk...what do u guys think?
