I am having pain, dizziness and other symptoms that no one can diagnose.

I need help. About 2 months ago I fell while getting out of the shower. I ended up in the bottom of the tub. I don't remember the actual fall. My doctor seems to think I might have passed out for a few seconds. At that time I was diagnosed with tachycardia and this might be what caused me to pass out. Since the fall I have chest pains on and off on the left side, chest pressure, dizziness, extreme exhaustion and now vertigo. I haven't been able to work. I have been to a cardiologist and had multiple EKGs, an echocardiogram, a nuclear stress test that was abnormal, a heart catheterization test that was normal. My cardiologist swears my heart is fine. I had a pulmonary function test done and it is normal. Going to see a pulmonologist tomorrow. Every doctor keeps telling me that there is nothing wrong with me. But I can't walk more than 20 steps and my heart starts racing and I'm completely out of energy. I can't even cook or take a shower without help. Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong? I'm out of options I feel like. I need to get fixed so that I can return to work. And to top this off I have now found a lump in my right breast that I'm going to tell my primary doctor tomorrow about. Could this be the cause of all my issues? Any help will be appreciated. I can answer any questions.

"And to top this off I have now found a lump in my right breast that I'm going to tell my primary doctor tomorrow about. Could this be the cause of all my issues?"
I think that's very doubtful.

Hi, Princessalex. What about coronary artery vasospasm aka Prinzmetal Angina? Arteries can squeeze themselves shut, then that has the same effects as artery blockage. That more or less comes and goes, leaving no sign behind. Did any doc discuss that? It needs 'provocative testing" wherein they inject something that brings it on, but only if you are susceptible.

"a nuclear stress test that was abnormal"
Is that a typo? Because you also say, "My cardiologist swears my heart is fine."

If not that, then "But I can't walk more than 20 steps and my heart starts racing and I'm completely out of energy" might be from something exotic like mitochondrial dysfunction in your muscles. The mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cells. If they're not working right, then the heart might futilely try to compensate by pumping more.
