Hey guys and girls, I'm going try to make this as short as possible but I need to throw it out there to see what you all think.
I'm a 30yr old male and around 5 years ago I started having chest and back pain with dizziness and foggy head. I ended up in the ER at least once every couple of months over the next 2 years thinking I was having a heart attack of some kind. Everything always came out fine and I had all the stress tests etc and tested for everything else (head scans etc).. all came back fine.. So over the next few years I just got super depressed with constantly having no energy, feeling tired and achy all the time etc... after about a year of just 'living with it' I stopped worrying about the symptoms and just dealt with them.
So now this is 5 years later and I'm just so dam sick of these symptoms. So I thought I'd go back into trying to figure out what is going on. Also I now have an 8 month old daughter and it upsets me a lot that I've got pain and feeling dizzy, tired all the time so I can't interact with her as much as I want to. My Fiancee has been great with me 'not feeling great' a lot of the time , but I can see she gets a little annoyed when I can't help her with some of the baby stuff because I have to lie down.
My symptoms are as follows: Chest pain, mostly around the pectoral areas, under arms, neck spreading down arms into hands. Numb tingly arms/hands. Pains in shoulders/shoulder blades and upper back. Pains in knees and general aching of the legs (worse in bed). Can't sleep, constantly tossing and turning lucky if I get a few hours per night. Itchy skin (more so lately, specially when trying to sleep) Always wake up feeling like I've been in 3 rounds with Mike Tyson.. no energy, achy muscles, Dizziness, foggy head etc. Occasionally memory sucks. Body (specially arms/legs) get very cold some times and then I can feel quite hot other times.
The pains come and go and change in area, although almost always there in some place.
I am self employed and pay $800 for my daughters child care alone, then I have my rent, other bills etc... so right now I cant afford health care. So I just wanted to get a general feeling of if this sounded familiar to those that have been diagnosed.
Thanks in advance.
