2 years of hell

[Lunar2010]

Hello, bare with me and excuse any spelling mistakes I make as I'm not too bright.

I've had intense/very painful symptoms for around 2 years, It started with a sensation in the back of my tongue in November 08, followed by me hyperventilating, having a panic attack, chest beating and a rising sensation in my head, what eclipsed all of this was the small ball in the left side of my chest which was twisting...

I did an ECG, they said nothing was showing with my heart
I did an MRI scan, they said my brain was fine
My old doctor was convinced it was psychological and I tried seeing a psychologist but nothing happened and eventually I just felt i was wasting my time and was convinced it was physical and I still am to an extent.

I've recently gone back to the neurologists and they dismissed me and they again are hinting on the MRI scan i did one year ago, the doctor said he was convinced it wasn't a neurology problem and sounded more psychological but he would do an intensive blood test, I felt like he just wasn't interested at all but nevermind.

I'm in constant pain, their is no end to it, my symptoms including, pressure on my head, my whole head is being squeezed, including my mouth which has many sensations to the point I can't tell where my teeth or tongue is, my left side of chest experiences the same thing, squeezing and crushing kind of sensation, it's very hard to explain my symptoms to people because their are so many of them and some people look at me like I'm making it up.

I plan on seeing my doctor tomorrow on emergency as the symptoms are eclipsing and I am having bad thoughts, I really want to fight this all but I don't know what to do? it's impossible to live with it all, any advice whatsoever would be appreciated and if you need more information, please ask any questions - thank you.

Hiya, I have been suffering similar to you, my head feels too heavy for my body, I have headaches and vision problems along with numbness in my face, I feel as though I cannot function properly. Ive had blood tests and been to see an optician but no scans, im just praying its anxiety im suffering from and not something else!

I wanted to add the only form of medical drug that has had any sort of affect on me has been diazepam, one of the doctors hinted if diazepam helps in anyway it could hint the problem being an anxiety related issue?

The drug just calms me down, I still feel the symptoms but I believe they are not as affective as usual.
