So basically since the end of October ish, I’ve had some strange chest discomfort.
At the time I had recently been put on lisinopril for somewhat high BP, however I got the pesky cough that came with it and a butload of nausea so I asked the doctor if I could try a more natural approach instead of getting on medicine right away, my BP is pre hypertension, but I’m overweight and planned on changing that. So after only a month on lisinopril I dropped it. The chest discomfort persist. I’ve been to the doctors and had an EKG(thinking it was my heart)which was normal. A few times I went to the ER with stab-like chest pains lasting mere seconds but kept happening, both times they did a full cariac workup (X-ray, blood tests, ekg) and both times, normal.
Most days I wake up - I feel this void or sinking feeling in my lower chest/upper abdomen area, and kinda on the left side.
I’m very tired nowadays as well. Almost every day once my day starts(usually picks up at around 10-11) I have a tension-like headache that lasts pretty much all day. My chest feels weird sometimes like my heart isn’t pumping that great? Idk. I have this constant urge to check my pulse a lot, and 99% of the time it’s a normal Pulse.. the other 1% I’m usually having PVC/PAC. Yeah, I get those sometimes. Most of the time it’s just one, but I’ve had a handful of times where there’s been a string of them, like normal beat, pvc,normal beat, pvc normal beat pvc and this goes on like 5-7
PVC’s and goes back to normal.
My doctor said PVC’s are usually benign, but my whole life I’ve never experienced Them although I’m sure I’ve had them because normal people have them everyday but I’ve never felt them like I do now, if that makes since? Sometimes while sitting down, my heart rate hits the upper 90s or as high as 110, When I’m laying down it’s low 60s, but it can hit upper 80s and I’ve also noticed my heart slows WAY down when I exhale.  
During activities such as sex or masturabtion - I SOMETIMES have what feels like a slow, powerful beating heart. It usually feels uncomfortable, and I end up stopping.

Also recently, I have noticed unusual bowl movements. They’re mostly normal in size/color for the most part but I see a lot more undgiested food in my stool that I’ve never seen before and Ive seen mucus on my stool/toilet paper the first time in my life not to long ago, it’s happened a couple times now. And it seems that whatever I eat nowadays, will exit me in about 5-8 hours. I know this because some of it is undigested.
Anyways, all of this has given me anxiety. I’m a horrible googler of symptoms and that makes it so much worse. So much so that it was effecting my life and the people around me so my doctor prescribed me anti depression/anxiety Paxil 20mg. I take one every day at about 8:30 p.m. and I’ve been on it for a month now.
Now I wake up, same old feeling in my chest. Go to work, usually do pretty good the whole day, aside from that constant chest discomfort that I feel like I’m just getting used to now... but at the end of the day, I get home get comfy, at about 6:30-7 I start to get a loopy feeling in my head and slight dizziness, sometimes I feel nauseas, and have blurred vision and sometimes when I focus hard on something small my eyes will jerk. This has been going on for about 15 days. I’m not exerting myself in anyway. I usually just play video games or watch a movie or play a mobile game just chilling laying down or something, yet I still feel weird in my head. I’ve been told this could be a side effect of Paxil though, but idk.
Some days, even during work I feel extremely dizzy, and sick like I’m on the verge of passing out kind of feeling, but that’s only happened a few times.
Anyways, I’m so sick of feeling this way. I have no idea what it could be. It’s effecting everything around me, I don’t go out anymore, I’m afraid to go to the gym because I think my hearts gonna give out on me, I don’t give my girlfriend attention like I used to cause I feel like a zombie. I don’t feel like the same person I was back in like July or something.

So does anyone have any input? Or can anyone relate?
Any suggestions on what I should do?

Hello~JohnnyRocket has given you some good info. I would like to add that it truly sounds like health anxiety, I have that at times, and I get every symptom known to man. Have you asked your doctor for a complete blood panel and work up to rule out anything major. The PVC's and PAC's are upsetting but are mostly always benign, I have them and hate them. We have a wonderful heart rhythm forum here, you might want to check them out as well regarding the skipped beats.

I know this will sound ridiculous, but, possibly trying a chiropractor would help. You may have some misplaced vertebrae pressing on nerves in your neck causing these symptoms, I know this was partially the cause for my symptoms. If nerves are not getting the right "messages" from the brain due to the misalignment, than all kinds of strange things can happen. The chiropractor will take some x-rays of your neck and adjust you accordingly, you may start to feel better after a few treatments.

Also, add a high potency Vitamin B complex, this is the "nerve" vitamin, this can help with anxiety issues as well..

I hope you start to feel better soon.

Look into a condition called SMA Syndrome (Superior Mesenteric Artery Compression). It’s a rarely diagnosed Vascular Compression Syndrome where the duodenum gets compressed between the Aorta and the Mesenteric Artery. Here’s some of the symptoms it can cause:

• Feeling full quickly when eating
• Bloating after meals
• Feeling of food being stuck
• Burping (belching)
• Nausea and vomiting of partially digested food or bile-like liquid
• Small bowel obstruction
• Weight loss
• Mid-abdominal "crampy" pain that may be relieved by the prone or knee-chest position or by lying on the left side

Many people that have been diagnosed with SMA Syndrome are also diagnosed with Nutcracker Syndrome (Renal Vein Compression). Both of these conditions occur at the same location and Nutcracker Syndrome can cause Extreme Fatigue as well. I have a friend that was recently diagnosed with both of these conditions. Most doctors have never heard of these conditions so they are rarely diagnosed but they can cause the problems you’re having. Check out some of these groups on Facebook. There are some very knowledgeable members that can give you some great advice on how to get tested for these Compression Syndromes.
