My boyfriend is 26 years old, and for the past year he has been experiencing what to him feels like a heart attack. When it's at it's worse, his left arm tenses up, and he receives a tight feeling in his chest. His other symptoms that he experiences daily include nausea, headaches, muscle cramping, tingling feeling in hands and feet, and sometimes blurred vision. He has been to a physician on multiple occasions, in which they chalk it up to anxiety or migraines. He has tried both anxiety and migraine medication, and they both seem to worsen the symptoms. There has also been occasions where I have taken him to the ER, in which they have taken blood work, EKG, and even an X-ray that determined there was nothing going on with his heart. He has seen both a neurologist and a cardiologist, Had two MRIs and never received any information. He has tried a chiropractor as well, thinking it may have been something along those lines. Still having symptoms.
On one occasion, we even started him on a list of vitamins thinking it was a deficiency. He is a vegetarian, but we eat a lot of vegetables. He drinks plenty of water. As far as other details about him, he avoids alcohol, and does not smoke. He is not overweight, but only moderately active. His job is a normal 9-5, and the stress level is moderate.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what this might be or what else we can try?
