Im begging someone to help me with this!

[xdawnx]

I really need help with this i am going out of my mind! ANY suggestions or help would be so welcome!
About 2 years ago now i started feeling like my breathing wasnt right. it felt too shallow like i couldnt take in enough air. Then i started getting very bad headakes every single day and dizziness all day every day too the point i couldnt do anything normal anymore because i was too scared. I went to my doctor and he was baffled and basically just wrote it off. Its been two years now and my health has got continuously worse. every day i experience these symptoms now..
Heart palpitations
'fluttering' in my chest.
Rapid heart beat whenever i move in the slightest.
Dizziness all day every day
Head pain
Pressure in my head like its filled up with something and about to explode
Pains/tingling & numbness in both legs and arms(it varies) And face.
Chest pain
Very out of breath even when just sitting still
And the most recent symtpoms are my ears feeling all blocked and a kind of wave of numbness + tingling (very bad feeling) feeling like its washing through my brain which makes me feel like i cant breath or think at all while it happens (normally lasts about 3-4 seconds) It kind of feels like my brain just cuts out.

I am nearly 18 years old, female, not preganant, a bit underweight.
I have had ALOT of blood tests, thyroid is normal, blood cells are normal, Bp normal, An echocardiogram came back fine, Wore a 7 day ecg monitor which showed my palpitations but the cardiologist said it was ok?? Had a brain MRI scan from the neurologist which he said was 'essentialy normal' Im being sent to a breathing clinic next month but other than this no one seems to know whats going on or how to help. im not sure they even want to!!

Sorry for such a long Question please any help would be SO appreciated!

Hi Dawn,

Was wondering how you have been? Hope all is well or at least not worse! Have you found out anything new on what may be wrong? I also wanted to tell you that there is someone who responds to questions by the name doctornee, they seem pretty knowledgable and by the name I think it may be a doctor. You may want to ask him or her about your symptoms.

Bye for now

my doctor i dont think really listens to me when i try to suggest stuff so im worried ill say oh how about tilt table test and he'll just go no if u needed that the cardiologist would of ordered it...case closed which is what he did when i mentioned dysautonomia (sorry about spelling) Maybe i should try talking to a different doctor about it.

Thankyo ufor your help x

Yes maybe if i see my doctor and tell him how bad its got he might think an x ray is a good idea especially now theyve cancelled my breathing appointment for a later time.
Im still trying with the cigarettes although to be honest havent been doing very well lately but im going to try harder now. Thanks for your support!

hiya Dawn,

I'm sure that your GP can request a chest X - ray and even a tilt table test.  You could even ask him/her to check your heart rate whilst laying and then again when you stand, just to get an idea of the changes in them - if you do have an abnormal response at least it will be recorded.  

When you do recieve copies of your tests post them here we may be aware of some of them.

Take care x

Here in the U.S., a primary care doctor can order a chest x-ray.  What you want them to look at is your lungs more so than your heart, because you are having trouble breathing.  Since you are a smoker, you are at greater risk for lung related problems, including cancer.  It's worth asking about.  If they find something, they may want to refer you to a pulmonary specialist (besides the testing place you already have a referral to).  

I hope you are doing well in your efforts to keep slowly decreasing the cigarettes!  I want to continue to encourage you that quitting is the right thing for your health.  Don't give up the fight!  Those cigarettes that beckon you to suck on them are sucking the life out of you.  Keep up the determination to battle this enemy of your physical well being!  Go, Dawn go!
