Don't know what to do no more other then give up.!!

[Thomas1992]

Hi all. So I'm 23 years old about 2 years ago I started getting heartburn and developed an ectopic heart beat what I was told not to worry about.. I carried on with my life and it went. I was healthy and fit just a normal lad doing normal things never smoked or took drugs and never the heavy drinker.. On the 2nd of may this year I went out for some food soon after I got heartburn that got worse and worse n my ectopic beat come back.. a few weeks went by and I had it every day but now started to get chest pains in n all around my heart, followed by shortness of breath, then when I eat I repeat everything n it feels like it gets stuck in my chest and I sick bits of it back up and now I always feel something in my heart area when I move my arm then came along popping pains all around my heart stomach n chest area. Then come along like a lump in my throat because I can't breath.. When I go toilet u don't want to know what comes out of me 😕.. I now have all these symptoms together 226 days later.... I have been hospital and my doctors over 20 times now. I have had Ecg's bloods chest scan heart scan and a camera all come back with nothing... due to this I can't work, and I'm losing my family over it all as I keep on about it and in pain thinking I'm going to die yet they can't do anything and it all turns in to an argument n they think I'm fine.!! I'm seriously not fine!! I have nothing right now and I do honestly believe what ever it is its going to kill me!! I'm at the end n just don't want to be like this no more.. I had a life 7 months ago and I wasn't like this so why am I now. There must be something wrong?????

Hi Thomas1992 Just read your post, what an absolutely heartbreaking time you are having Thomas1992 I'm not a doctor, have you looked into food allergies, some people develop massive intolerances to some food groups and descibe what you have?? Just a "thought". Unfortunately your situation sometimes causes arguments Take the high road if you can and don't argue back, no matter what is said to you, you are going through enough, without that bringing you further down. Don't give up on finding the source of what's wrong with your health.

Good luck, Julie.

Hi dude. I have exactly the same thing. Started out with chest pains years ago, then heartburn. And now the last couple of months it all keeps on getting worse and worse. Sometimes I can hardly breath from the pain in my chest in my heart area. And also headaches and migraines, like none stop.... Don't know what to do!!! It really hurts like hell!!!

Hi Thomas

As joolzzz says I'm not a doctor either but your symptoms sound very similar to acid reflux, which I have. Churning stomach, burning throat, nausea, occasional bile and heartburn. My husband has the same symptoms too but his is due to a hiatus hernia.

Usually it is diagnosed by amongst other things a gastroscopy. Is that what you meant when you said a camera? If so I would have thought they picked something up with that.

If they have already ruled that out then I don't have any other suggestions I'm afraid. Hope they do find out soon as it's not pleasant is it?

Acid reflux, irregular heartbeat and lump in throat can be linked with 'low thyroid' (Hypothyroidism.)

Google this Thomas 1992,

On Thyroid Uk, titled:-

Acid reflux and Gastroesophageal reflux disease as a manifestation of a newly revealed Hypothyroidism.

Not sure if this connects to you or not ?

definitely looks like acid re-flux.The more you worry the worse it gets.Get off any fried food or sour food.Try a slice of apple or carrot.If it is indeed the above mentioned problem then vanilla ice cream helps or even coco cola. Just try these BUT FIRST THING STOP WORRYING AND TRY TO DISTRACT YOURSELF. Think positive.

Let me know if you feel better.Believe me I've suffered this and worse.

All The Best !!

I'm no expert but I have suffered from some of these symptoms, I also had cameras down and up, if you know what I mean ;). nothing showed up I had slight inflammation. diagnosed with IBS, anyway I went on a diet because I wanted to loose wait it was only then I realised it was all diet related.

I know you have may have been told all this before but cut out spicy foods, fatty foods pastries etc, if you really want to help STOP EATING BREAD, acid based foods and drinks (pure fruit juices,fizzy pops etc) make sure you are chewing your food and small and often meals are better, don't eat or drink anything apart from water upto 2 hors before bed and if you suffer in the night, get a extra pillow and sleep with your head higher.

I know all these things may sound simple but combined for a lengh of time may help.

I hope you get sorted soon x

Thanks for your comments people... I've been sticking to good quality of food and drinking water and still no improvement... these last couple of days have been the worst and it mainly feels like my heart now. . It's fast,slow,skips beats,feels like it's going in spasms and shooting pains in my pulse... and on top of that all I seem to do is force my self to burp just so I can breath... it's been 240 days now and I honestly don't think I have many left 😢
