Q: Weird Symptoms And Im Freaking Out

Where do I start well ive been having some attacks for about 2 years now I get clammy, chest pains/heaviness, hard to breath, upset stomach, dizziness, dishoriented, pain down my arm (different arm each time), and for some reason these attacks come only at night about 4 hours before bed. I went to the doctor when it first started and was given an ekg because on a chest x-ray they found a enlarged valve in my heart but it turned out to be okay. At that doctor visit two years ago (last time I had been to the doctor) they found I had mono and a virus that was causing these attacks. Since that visit they had stoped for about a year but in the last year I have been getting them about once a month but in the last two weeks I have been getting them about every night. Tuesday night I was driving to my grandmas and I was having one badly so when I got there my grandma took my blood pressure and it was fine so we took my blood sugar and it was 38...I drank a soda and 30 mins later was fine and I didnt have chest pains/pressure that night. Last night I was suffering from upset stomach and chest pressure, hard to breath really badly and my blood sugar/pressure was fine so I just went to sleep and this mornign I had it a little bit. Some ideas I have is stress/depression/anxiety because other things I have going on is im always tired im afraid of life and getting a job (im 19) im very lazy and always exhausted and I cry alot without reason and I jus dont wana leave the house..Another thing I was thinking is its in my head for the last 5-6 years I have been deathly afraid of having a heart attack so I might be having the symptoms? Well thanks for reading and any help would be great I have no inssurance so I cant really go see a doc at the moment..Oh and one thing can anyone tell me if when your having a heart attack does your blood preassure change at all? Thanks for your help

It sound to me like it might be hypoglycemia--(however you spell it)--which means low blood sugars. I was low blood sugar for all my life until I went high--diabetic now. Low blood pressure too, until I went high hypertension now.

Try eating every 3 to four hours, starting right after you get up. Just a little snack or something with carbohydrates--or sugars.
Just for a few days--if not just try and drink a soda or eat small amount of candy when this happens, if it low blood sugars it will subside with the eating or sugar intake.

Hope this can help
