What Causes Chest Pain With Tingling And Numbness In Arm?

I am a 21 year old female, 5'7" non smoker, non drinker. I am a tad bit overweight by standards, but my waist is normal by the "weight vs wait" theory. I have been having chest pains and left arm tingling and numbness. My hands, arms, feet, and legs are swollen. I have been extremely tired and I get winded from just walking from my daughter's bed to my bed which only about two or three feet away. I only urinate about 3 times a day and sometimes when I feel the need to go, nothing comes out, i'll feel my spincther muscle relax, but no flow. I was diagnosed with a small kidney stone but they said it was nothing to worry about. Sometimes my extremities get all tingly and go numb as well. I was put on lasix a week ago and have had no increase in urination and no reduction in my swelling. I have been VERY lighteheaded and dizzy as well. I went to the ER my bp was 157/79 and it usually runs about 110/75 at routine dr's visits he did a quick ekg and said things looked normal, and he also said my blood work is fine. I asked him what could be causing my symptoms and he said he did't know and said, "go home and try and get some rest." He didn't even bother to check my vitals before discharge. I am about to just give up b/c I don't think I will ever find an answer to my problems. I am starting to feel like some big hypochondriac but my symptoms are there, i even passed out in my doctor's office last week. I

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart and lung related diseases first.
So get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Ecg, 2d echo and stress test are needed for cardiac diseases.
Chest x ray and PFT are needed for lung diseases.
If all these are normal then no need to worry much.
Sometimes stress, anxiety and panic disorder can also cause similar symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with drugs and counseling sessions.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
