Question: Hi
I have had 3 EKG's over the past 6 months and one stress test, cholesterol test, full blood work, all fine, I was told 6 months I had a panic attack due to my dad having a heart attack in March at 60 y/o (Survived, had 2 stents inserted), but still my symptoms persist, most common are -

Age 35 - Occasional drinker, ex social smoker (maybe 10 a week, have been stopped for 1 year)
Left shoulder ache
Left and right arm "zaps" or twinges (Mainly left), when these occur I feel a flutter, something akin to when you receive a fright
Pain just below ears on both sides sometimes earlobe, and occasionally jaw ache
no pain or real tightness in chest just a general feeling of uncomfortableness
Ache in shoulders is again more of a stiff ache, slightly painful when rotating but not a bad pain
Belching constantly, seems to relieve some of the symptoms, no stomach pain, trapped win seems more in chest and throat
Symptoms mainly occur at rest ot when sitting, rarely when doing anything strenuous
Sometimes what feels like a build up of pressure from my neck upwards, mainly on standing up after sitting for some time
BP at rest is normal (Around 12/80 or just above) however during one of numerous "Panic attacks" has risen to 160/96
Some months ago I developed "air hunger" a constant need to take a XXXXXXX fulfillling breath which lasted around 2 months

Apologies for the exhaustive list, official diagnosis from GP and cardiologist I was referred to was anxiety attacks but have a constant feeling of dread that this is heart related
