Chronic Chest pains here and heart rate issues.

Every day, multiple times a day, I clutch my chest and gasp for breath/double over.

Its become such a common occurence I dont even have the "OH MY GOD IS THIS IT" response anymore.

I usually just angrily scream "god DAMNIT" through gritted teeth as my heart rate goes through the roof for the next 10 minutes to 7 hours.

Took me laying in the ER hooked up to a heart monitor and having one infront of a nurse that I was even remotely taken seriously, and even then it was just a "uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, okay take these beta blockers, bye "

when i asked what it was, they just shruged and said "its normal, weird you act like it hurts so much, but oh well"

20+ years later, i still got it, and it gets worse every passing year. yet i'm in perfect health according to the doctors and tests

Panic attacks? Too much caffeine? This happens to me when I’m going to sleep, it’s really frightening. If you have any insight let me know.

They wanted to insist it was panic attacks for a long time, but that kinda died off after they tried twice to give me a big ol' dose of ativan with absolutely zero effect (Other than me experiencing a moment of pure, drug induced happiness, of course)

They tried to blame caffeine, too. Telling them I hadnt had caffeine in 10 years visibly took the wind out of the sails on that, too.

Current theories are that I somehow accidentally offended some elder god, or that I earned a witches ire in a past life
