Answers:
it's your anxiety, the same thing happens to me, i had all those tests too plus more tests and blood work, everything came back perfect, i also had ekgs, x rays, i was hooked up to a heart monitor, i've been to the hospital, the er, 6 times in the last 30 days and i'v had two doctor appointments too, there is nothing psychically wrong with me, i freak out because i have a long history of heart problems on my father's side and my mother's side, but also, depression and anxiety run in both sides too, my heart is perfect, i always think i'm having a heart attack so i go to the er, everytime they hook me up to machines and they assure me my heart is perfect and that i'm fine, i still get really scared though, just like you, also when i get my panic attacks my arm also goes numb and i start to shake and i get really weak and dizzy and it feels like my breathing slows but my heart will be racing, it's terrifying, i know how you feel, my doctor put me on zoloft, 50 mgs once a day!.

i also don't smoke, i don't drink or do drugs either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The same thing happened to my fiance!. He presented with chest pain, fainted, weakness!. We phoned for an ambulance!. He was in the hospital overnight for observation!. He had similar tests as you did, all results came back normal!. He was given atavan for anxiety!. He has had anxiety and panic attacks in the past but this one was, by far the worst!.

I really think that you are fine!. Try and listen to the doctors when they tell you aren't in any other danger!. If you feel anxious in the near future, I have cut and pasted a site that might help!.

I wanted to wish you the best of luck! God BlessWww@Answer-Health@Com
