Health Concerns

Lately I have been having some problems with my heart. It is never below the mid 90's anymore. And seems like lately, several times a day, my heart goes haywire beating well into the 100's. I've seen it at the hospital in the upper 150's. That trip they gave me 4 mgs of ativan in my IV to slow it down and that did not work so they put what I think was a beta blocker into my IV which finally brought it down to the upper 90's. This time the doctor told me I was having sinus tachycardia and that he thought it was due to anxiety. Every time I have been to the hospital with it, they have to put it down to anxiety, except the first time and then they said that it was from withdrawals as I had come of one of my medications suddenly. It had not happened before that but now, even back on my meds, it is happening and it is getting worse. Now it is coming with chest and left arm pain. My chest gets really tight. The last time it happened my heart started not only racing, but pounding and skipping beats. I could not breathe and my chest felt like it was being crushed from the inside. By the time the ambulance got there, it had eased some but my heart was still jumping from the upper 80's to the upper 120's. I should also mention that when this happens, I get a weird pressure in my left temple area and I get really dizzy. The last time i was sure I was going to lose consciousness. And the hospital is not taking me seriously. I have had panic attacks since I was a child. They have never felt like this. Also, I have had very few unprovoked panic attacks and even they did not feel like this. Nothing has ever felt like this. I am terrified that I am either going to have a heart attack or stroke or aneurysm. I am afraid to sleep because I am afraid I will not wake up. I am afraid to drive anywhere without another adult in the van because I am afraid I am going to lose consciousness and crash. I can't get in to see the cardiologist until December 10th. And that's if I can get them to See me with my insurance not working properly. Now my heart is not just racing, its skipping beats, pounding and my chest shoulder and arm hurt. I have no clue. I am terrified. The pressure in my left side of my head is almost constant and from time to time I get a weird throbbing in my left temple. On top of that, now, I am also getting sharp pains in different parts of my head. I need a full check over. Head to toe. And I need to know for sure if I am on my way to a heart attack or stroke or something. Or if this really is just a new form of panic attack for me. It is crazy and scary and since I have psych issues, the hospital is not taking me serious. I just want answers. If any one has any idea what this could be, please feel free to leave me a comment or email. Fairiesfire@gmail.com
