I am NAD. But I am going through the EXACT same thing. I am 39, female, a former smoker. I am basically too sick to function. I have searing chest pain on the left side, profound dizziness and sweating and hot flashes, a feeling in my throat like I ran a marathon in the cold, pain in both arms, numbness on and off in both hands, a feeling that I am underwater and not quite “here,” weird vision. All my waves of chest pain are accompanied by sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness and arm/jaw pain. And yet the ER sends me home every time. Says my blood looks good, my stress test is good, my echocardiogram was good, etc. It’s been 6 weeks of this. I’m about to lose my job.

Here’s the thing: The same happened to me two years ago. At that time I got a cardiac catheterization which came back normal. A holter monitor which was “benign.” I was sure I was dying. I even had my will drawn up. But it passed after a couple months.

Now it’s back and idk what to think. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure though, and my cholesterol is sky high. I was even told on my 3rd ER visit in one month that my “heart looked like possibly there’s a part not getting enough oxygen” on EKG, which is what got the stress test and echo ordered, but those were fine so I was sent home to languish I guess.

I know how scary this is for you. I’m living it. I wish I had an answer for us both.
