Hi, i'm new here. I hope i'm doing this
right! I am 39 and i'm at the end of my
rope! I have been having pain in the
left side of my chest. I get sharp
stabbing pains then tightness. Lately it
has progressed to severe pain in my left
shoulder blade, weakness and tingling
radiating from my chest, left armpit, down
through my arm & hand,that has lasted
as long as three days, it is so
uncomfortable I can't sleep or eat. I
have gone to two different doctors. I
have been diagnosed as anything from panic
attacks to ibs! I really don't think i'm
having panic attacks, I never feel paniced
when it happens and my bowels are just
fine. My blood pressure is irregular, but
it's not high, it's low. Anywhere from
78/47 to 100/70. I have been told maybe
it's all in my head!! I had a stress test
about 6 months ago and it was fine, but I
was not having such severe problems then,
only once in a while and not bad. I don't
know what to do any more. I'm scared can
anyone tell me if they had the same
problems and what I should do???

Hello Posted: 06-17-04 00:30am
I have had the very same thing ...I
actually was left with what felt like
someone pushing there hand against the
middle of my chest and the numbness in my
finger tips that didnt go away for three
days ...I just had a stress test and blood
work done ...My bp is also very low
...Almost scary low ...A couple of years
back I had my feet turn black ! Went thru
a zillion tests and they couldnt find
anything wrong ...But they were extremely
painful to the point I couldnt walk ...And
black? And tell me theres nothing wrong !
And now this ...And im only 30 ! Very
high stress job but im also on paxil which
should take and seems to do well at taking
anxiety away ...Its not even only
happening when im stressed ...Its at
differant times now ...Ill keep ya posted
if they find anything wrong with me
