I've been having general health problems for a year now. I had been to about three physicians that had run no tests on me and said that my palpitations dizziness and chest pain were probably anxiety. Finally, two weeks ago, I went to the ER with surprising sharp pain in right side of chest, lasted momentarily but I was tired of wondering so I decided to go to the ER, on the way I got extremely tense my heart pounded wildly, chest tightened, but by the time I got to the ER it had pretty much gone away, was just really tired again. They gave me the full workup and keep me on account of elevated troponin levels..during that stay were .22, .18, .18. and released me the next morning after monitoring my vitals saying nothing was out of the ordinary, see me in clinic next week, unless things get worse. well, lo and behold, I felt sicker throughout the week but kept holding back because I didn't want to be a pestering hyponchondriac, but my best friend also died early in the week and this was adding to my stress and I did not know if that was causing me to feel so horrible, shortness of breath in the mornings, chest tightness or pains varied throughout the week, until finally 9 days later, I decided to go back, I was hospitalized again for elevated troponin .25, and keep for two days to be monitered, during which I was given another chest xray and CT scan and kept on one of those monitors that they say are watched by ICU, during my stay I had a few instances of severe chest pain, one time on my right side which turned icy and my BP and heart rate bumped up but they said that though it was significantly bumped up, the rythym was normal. One of the nights I had pain on my left side that radiated to my left shoulder and they said that the readings were normal. The cardiologist saw me the next day and said that they were clearing me on the cardiology side and that they had run my thyroid, sugar, kidney function and all were normal and now they were telling me that troponin could be caused by normal PACs and they were going to pursue "mental problems" I am worrying either 1) that this is life and death they are not taking seriously or 2) that it really is all in my head but the pains and the symptoms are so real, and my troponin levels are showing something really wrong with my heart from all I've heard SHOULD I GET SECOND OPINION ASAP? or rely on the doctors already treating me?
