hi do you get weirld painless sensations under your ribcage sort of like when your going down a long slope.I've been feeling all these tingling sensations for three months now but the feeling in my chest is the worse. The palpations have milded out a bit been having them nonstop for more than a couple of months, also got gerd and hiatus hernia and the worse is not being able to sleep. Lost tons of weight on medication for gerd which has helped with the burning pain. Does anyone else get this weird feeling in the chest, have had 2 exrays done and about 5 ecgs done one 24 hour monitor all the bloodworks done everything comes back normal I,m so fed up i feel like i've a ballon in my chest but that sensation makes it worse along with the left side of my face feeling numb and tingly and i get this bout of sour taste in my mouth at time when my face and bottom left jaw ache mildly doc says it's all in my head please anyone help.thanks.

My own opinion is that allopathic medicine isn't the best place to treat digestive problems.  The medication causes rebound effects, which leaves you in a constant cycle.  Natural remedies don't do this.  You might try seeing a naturopath and trying to get your digestion into balance rather than just treating symptoms.  That pressure you feel can be from the formation of acid, too, just like you're other symptoms, and medications tamp down this acid, but they also force the body to make even more acid, since it's necessary to digest protein.  Not a good long-term solution.

Get a second opinion.  Make sure there is truly not a physical issue.

Panic attacks can mock other issues.  They can feel like a heart attack, a stroke, an asthma attack...  Get a referral to a good psyc dr.  It took me years to find one, but I have been with the same doctor now for over 9 years, and he's good.  Even if it turns out it IS in your head, there are ways to treat it.
