do i have anxiety?

[potato4201]

for the past three weeks ive had a pain in my chest,like the feeling when someone scares you and you get the feeling in your chest afterwards.i`d be fine in the morning but it would gradually get worse at night.i couldnt breathe very well either.so i had enough and went to the ER.they did chest x-rays, and an ekg,came out normal gave me motrin,told me to cut my caffine .and sent me home.the next couple days, i started to feel better,i smoked less (cigs and weed),and drank water and almost felt perfect.then a week later it came back twice as worse.so i went back to the ER.did blood,xray, and ekg.this time they thought it was my childhood asthma since all the tests were normal gave me albuteral treatment then gave me an inhaler and sent me home again.i told them this has nothing to do with asthma ive had attacks b4 and i know what that feels like and went home .and again the symptoms came back twice as bad  a week later,so i went to another hospital.the doc there thought i had walking pneumonia or a thyroid problem,gave me atenolol(seemed to help) and antibiotics.thyroid bloodwork came out fine and now again a week later i smoke a small amount of weed and i felt like my heart is gonna explode rightaway,my heartrate was about 140 so i called an ambulance cuz i had no idea what was going on and they took me to the original hospital i was at.they say its possible i have anxiety but i dont believe it becuz im a musician, i work on the weekends in front of hundreds of people i never ever get nervous,anxious or nothing,dont have a legit job,no kids,no g/f,no problems.stress is the last thing i have.im 20 years old been smoking for about 8 years,pounded down countless amounts of mcds doublecheeseburgers,so i my mind i have a heart problem.i have sweaty hands-feet,had a small temp but thats it.i feel this pain in my chest pretty much all day.now i did not stop taking the antibiotics.but i have not smoked anything in the past 3 days,and no caffine at all.but now i have a hard time breathing when i eat and i cant eat much at all or even feel like eating for that matter.i had some chicken last nite and as soon as i was done eating i had that feeling like i did b4 when i called the ambulance(not nearly as bad) but it passed. i ordered the doc to give me an echo and now im waiting for the results.anxiety is obviously not out of the question,especially now that i have 8 doctors confused as to whats wrong with me and starting to scare me especially after lying around for weeks feeling like im gonna die.ive lost 5 pounds in the past week(prolly lack of food)and having abdominal pain(below right bottom rib)not to serious though.i get lightheaded now and then and having really detailed dreams.if i start to fall asleep and wake up suddenly i get that feeling real bad again like your being scared.now i had swollen glands for three weeks prior to all these symptoms,but only in my armpit and have seemed to go away without treatment.now i dont have a any insurance so im getting sick of spending money on doctors so they can stand there and shrug there shoulders,dont give me meds or even tell me what to do.and i dont want to keep going back.so any advice is appreciated.

yeah im starting to lean more towards it.i have many wondering thoughts but never thought they would literaly "attack me".the results on the echocardiagram  2morrow will shut this case for me.i quit smoking cigs(the only good thing) and the weed is like losing a child for me but ill live, i guess.the chest pain is what makes me angry the most.i cant stand it,but itll fade(I hope).the dreams are really cool i think,like tv in your sleep,and real vivid too! thanx for your comment

I have had many of the same symptoms that you've said you've had. I used to smoke weed and I realized that I can't anymore, because my anxiety seriously made it so much worse. I used to get those dreams that scare you and you wake up and feel like you're dieing.
I think that you have anxiety, since you have many of the same similar symptoms that people with anxiety normally have.
