My fiance, 33y White Male, 6' 4" 142 lbs.
1/2 pack smokes per day
No drinking.

He has been to the ER of two hospitals over a dozen times since November 2008.

He has had chest pain, either in the center of his chest, or to the left, below his nipple on and off since then. He always complains that it feels like someone is sitting on his chest, and occasionally a sharp, stabbing pain. It ranges from 2-7/8 on the pain scale.

Every visit he has had an EKG, Chest X-Ray, blood work-ups, and occasionally an ultrasound to check for fluid. All come back as normal tests.

His initial ER visit was cause due to an extreme cough, causing chest pain, difficulty breathing, vomiting, lightheadedness, and vomiting was diagnosed as bronchitis. He was given an Albuterol inhaler and Prednisone steroids. After being these medications, his coughind subsided, but the chest pressure remained.

After that he was been diagnosed times with a viral infection, unknown cause, and was given zofran for nausia. 12-3-08, 12-7-08

Later, returned to the ER and was given Maxifloxacin for Atypical Pneumonia. 1-3-09

All of the ER physicians either sent him home with Vicodan, or Percoset, none seem to do anything but make him ill, itchy, and sleepy.

In December, the doctor he saw for follow tested him for Lyme Disease, it came back positive. It was treated with antibiotics.

During that course of treatment he lost most of his mobility due to severchest pain, and all mobility of his right arm, test run, clear of blood clots.

The did an 'formal ultrasound' on his heart, said they found an abnormality, and decided to put a camera down his throat, test results showed nothing 'alarming'

Those sypmtoms seemed to go away, mysteriously.

On 6-11-09 a new trip to the ER with chest pressure and difficulty breathing, not shortness of breath. Just painfully breathing due to the chest pain.

He was told it was a GI issue and given Zantac.

2 days later back in the ER, this time diagnosed with pancreatitus, no food for 18 hours, liquids for about 8, then solids foods. He was actually admitted to the hospital on this trip.

Please help me, we are both so scared, he can hardly walk, is in constant pain, and I can't stop crying for the worry of what is wrong with the man I so love.
