I am currently 47 yrs old, when I was 36 I was hospitalized for chest pains, dizziness and loss of breath. I had MRI, EKG's, blood work up and many other test done. The military could not tell me exactly what was going on with me. I have been having these sudden pains in my chest one - four times per month. They only last about 30 seconds. I need to sit, grab something to keep from falling.
During the first one at age 36 my left hand felt huge and started to tingle and then my leg went numb. Then it was like someone stabbed me in the chest. I also had what I think was an out of body. I saw myself and told myself to keep driving that I was going to be alright. When I arrived home my wife ask what was wrong with my left side of my face. It was druppy and my speach was slurred.
After nine days at Fort Lewis the doctors had no idea what had happened. I still suffer from these same pains and have learned to just live with them. I was told that it may have been a T.I.A. or possibly panic attacks. I just want to know what is wrong with me. Help!
