I will start out by starting from the beginning.
I am a 19 year old gamer who is grossly overweight (Over 500 Lbs but not 600 Lbs.) who has never drank alcohol or smoked, and I have been having pains and tingling in my chest area, left arm, head, and also right side of chest and right arm. On the 31st of July is when these symptoms primarily began, which that same day is when I went to go have a a Echocardiogram. I have experienced no loss of consciousness or blurring of vision, but each time the pain happens, I become worried. It usually is sharp and brief but quickly goes away, reoccuring later. Mid echocardiogram, the doctor who came in and looked over my heart, from what I overheard, said that my heart looked fine. My life is very stressful, what with living in fear of not being able to go to college and actually get going on making a living. I am working on trying to get going on a diet and I exercise daily as much as I can. A few months I ago I fell on my left arm and since it has periodically ached in the mid joint before the forearm. I saw a psychologist the day after the Echo, who said that it was likely a result of the muscles around the heart and not the heart itself, and stress.
Nevertheless I am worried. I have noticed that some of the tingling gets better temporarily when I step in the shower and let the hot water run over the areas.
