Coping With Chest Pain

I just started having severe chest pain on December 4th, 2007. My symptoms are sweating/clamminess, chest pain (obviously), lightheadedness/dizziness, weight gain, blurry vision, thinning hair (not bad, though. Just a little) muscle spasms, uncontrollable trembles, left arm tingly/pain, tightness, syncope (not often, but has happened). I have also been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and Hypothyroidism. I’ve been taken to the ER twice (once by ambulance), and have only been to school, maybe, 7 days in the past 3 1/2 mos.

Doctors have put me through many cardiac tests, chest x-rays, CT scan of head, and an MRI Everything has come back normal. At first, they thought I was having severe anxiety attacks, but quickly dismissed that option, because it doesn’t all add up, and I never feel anxious or stressed. I have also had a tilt-table test, and that came back normal, too.

My mom and I have learned that there are three other people at my school who now have whatever this is. We’re thinking this is a type of virus, or some mysteriously hidden chemical imbalance of sodium caused by a combination of a childhood vaccine and antibiotic. We’re trying to find researchers, doctors, or scientists who are studying the effects of sodium on Neurotransmission.
