Hello,
My name is Mark. I am 19 years old, and for the past five months I have been suffering from several physical symptoms (different ones from time to time, but always symptomatic). These would include:
heart palpitations
tachycardia, bradycardia
chest pains (upper, lower, ribs)
tinnitus (ear ringing, occurs somedays several times a day)
headaches (from migraines to cluster headaches)
eye - pain, dilation, double vision, vertigo
neck/jaw pain
lower back pain
spasms/pain over body
This all first started when I smoked marijuana (it was not laced, I assure you.), in which I started panicking from a racing heart and chest pains. The next day - week, I had chest pain and heart racing, etc. I saw my first doctor a couple days later, which would be the first of many visits to different hospitals/dr. appts. for a couple months. My first diagnosis was anxiety, and so they put me on anti-anxiety medicine, which made it worse.
Then, I would a week later go to the ER with heart racing, chest pain, very disoriented. They did a few tests: lung x-ray (FINE), bloodwork (FINE), EKG (I would late be diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse, nothing serious). The doctor at the ER recommended that I get an echocardiogram done, and so I did (which the results came back FINE, once again.). They put me on a beta-blocker, which helped the symptoms somewhat, and ativan.
My mother's doctor was an endocrinologist, so I visited him next. He did even more tests: glucose test (NO DIABETES), further bloodwork including hormones/lipids/etc. (not thyroid problems, all was fine EXCEPT low vitamin D and serotonin/dopamine levels... took supplement for vita D), another EKG.
The last doctor I visited was the cardiologist, in which I was given a stress test, and my heart was healthy.
Lifestyle: I am a rather healthy eater, being that I have Celiac Disease, my diet is rather narrowed. I used to do cross-country and track in high school, but it has been about a year since I have exercised regularly. I used to party a decent amount, but I don't do that anymore. I do believe that I have high-level anxiety and depression, but I don't know if that's what all is wrong. Please Help!
