Miserable burning in chest....Consantly

[sunshine1109]

I have had for the past several months a constant and I mean 24/7...burning and tightness in my chest I feel like I have a weight on my chest and its hard to breath. I also feel my heartbeat all the time, im nauseous and have headaches. My chest is killing me it is so uncomfortable. I have had echo and a nuclear stress test 8 mths ago and it came back fine. But my discomfort has gotten so much worse. Cant sleep, I have then had a breast ultra. mammo, pulmonary ct scan, ekgs, chest x rays blood work all is good now they want to do a cardio cath because my Dr is at a loss. He keeps telling me its anxiety but I dont think anxiety lasts this long and be so severe I dont feel anxious at all. SO Im going to my cardiologist and see what he says..Anyone out there with any insight I would appreciate it so much...Thanks...

Thanks so much I re-posted it on there.  I dont wish this on anyone but  sure would like to know of someone who has felt this before.  My Dr wants me to have a cardiac catheritization but I really dont want to unless absolutely necessary...It kept me up all night it feels so bad..

Again I would suggest to post the post on the anxiety forum. You don't mention anything about agoraphobia. So we can only assume you are not an agoraphobic. The anxiety forum will get you loads of answers about anxiety.
