I'm a 20 yr old who has been suffering from an undiagnose heart condition. Two years ago i was admitted to hospital for 3-4 weeks. I had ecg every day, went on a treadmill with physician, went around with a portable machine for 30 to keep track of my heart and its rythm. I also had a electrphysiological test but all they could tell me was that they think i might have arrythmia. Two years later, it seems like it has gotten worse. I have sharp paralysing pains just below my left breast, i am assuming it's my heart. Sometimes it feels like my heart is going to stop beating right there and then. I get so exhausted, i cant even stand in long queues without starting to feel dizzy and light-headed. It's getting really bad. One doctor told me i was sufering from panic attacks and referred me to a therapist who gave me tablets for depression which didnt help much either. Now i'm feeling much worse, everyday i live in fear that my heart might just stop beating. If anyone can help please.
