Please Help - Should I push for another consult

[Eddie 14]

My fear of posting here is that I am automatically lumped into the anxiety bucket.  However, I've had more than a few tests with no answers and my life is really being affected. 33 y/o male. Happily married, good kids.  Had a very tough year last year with several life events.

January - ER with chest pains a few months back.  BP was high, thallium stress test clean. As were ECG, Blood enzymes etc.  Had had arm and jaw pain prior.

Feb - still having some pains, treated with prilosec for several months which led to stomach problems (and testing).  Negative, quit the prilosec in April, stomach got better.

Been on Xanax off and on for anxiety.  .5 mg XR, was on it for 4 months with no real change that I noticed.  Weened off of it.

I've tried zoloft and at 2 weeks when I ramped up the dose my anxiety DID go through the roof.  Quit after 5 days at higher dose, felt better in a few days.  Waited a few months - tried cymbalta 30 - at day 4 I felt like the Zoloft did.  Quit it and felt a bit better (this was last week).

Zoloft and Cymbalta seemed to make things worse.  Xanax didn't do much good or bad.

I'll admit to being very worried about my health through all of this.  But over the last month I started to get extreme tightness in my neck below my jaw, and then along my jaw and up into my face.  To the point that the pain would awaken me.  It's generally a shooting ache/pain, more left than right but bi-lateral.  Can run into my cheeks, tip of my jaw etc.  I get a lot of tingling on the left side of my face.  I also wake up where my whole body feels "seized" up for only a few seconds.  But at that moment, I think I'm going to die.  I wake up more and more lately with both arms numb from the elbows down and tingling. Sleep has been difficult because of this.  

Brain (recent) and c-spine (done in Jan b4 neck and face acted up) - CLEAN

So yeah, a lot of it points to anxiety. HOWEVER, I find it almost impossible to believe that anxiety could cause this crazy jaw pain that moves around, but generally along the jaw bone the most.  On top of that the arms falling asleep, and this body "seize" that happens.  On top of that at times when my entire neck and jaw gets tight for a 10-15 seconds, my upper chest feels "funny"  it's not a crushing pressure, but it feels weird.  More from the clavicle up, but sometimes as low as my nipples.  I am getting a bite guard in case this is all clenching.  I've lost a grandfather in his early 50's to a MI.
  
However my stress test and 64 slice CT of my heart were clean.

Sorry to be crass, but I feel like "****" because of the pain.  I wasn't depressed but I'm working on it since two SSRI's have failed, and this is becoming very hard on my wife.  I HATE how this is affecting me.

1.  Can all of these symptoms REALLY be anxiety, or should I try a different doctor?

2.  Basically, if the physical symptoms would go away I know I'd be fine again.

3. PLEASE any suggestion on tests or drugs?

Isn't it amazing how anxiety can cause all the symptoms that you describe.  It is so important to understand anxiety and all the symptoms, so you don't make the medical industry rich.  When I think about the thousands and thousands of dollars I spent on doctors and emergency room care to find out I am as healthy as anyone can be, but I feel like I'm unhealty with heart problems...any I don't have heart problems.

You have to learn how to deal with your anxiety and not let it get the best of you.  There are many self help books that are excellent...my friend currently has mine.

I have xanax that I take only when I have had a stressful day and I need to relax myself.  Even then I try to relax myself without meds.  

Good Luck!
