Constant Heart Palpitations and Occasional Chest Pain

I've seen similar topics brought up and wanted to resurrect the topic.

I have had 24/7 heart palpitations (heart pounding) for over 6 months. I am always aware of my heartbeat and it shakes my body. It makes life extremely difficult. I also have occasional chest pain to go with it which scares the hell out of me. I stopped doing the things I love because of the pain like running, working out, hiking, going out, drinking. I haven't had a normal life since this condition hit me.

I have had almost all heart tests (20+ ekgs, 2 echos, stress test, chest x-rays, and a chest CT scan) and all have come back normal. I've been to the ER 4 times since this happened. Sometimes the episodes are so bad I drive to the ER and wait outside just in case the unthinkable happens.

I have tried literally just about every natural cure (magnesium, aloe vera, olive leaf extract, potassium, parasite cleanse, water/juice fast, hyberbaric therapy, etc.). EVERYTHING. Anything someone else mentions, I've probably tried it and the heart pounding does not completely go away and neither does the occasional chest pain. I have considered allergens such as mold and vacating my apartment has helped but the symptoms remain to a lesser extent.

I was wondering if anyone has any idea whatsoever what could be going on. I have no other noticeable symptoms. I feel like my 26 years on this Earth is coming to an end. I am ready to throw in the towel after 6+ months of battling this. :(

I was prescribed xanax twice. It stops the heart pounding but I still feel the chest pain. It gets me way too tired to function. Plus, I don't want to go down the road of addiction and dependence to benzos.

I'm also reluctant to take it because I feel something is wrong and no one can figure it out. It only somewhat masks what's really going on.

Maybe see if you get a referral for a cardiologist to rule out stuff? That'd what I did.

Or maybe it's a silent reflux, fibromyalgia, etc.
My chest hurts sometimes, I've got costochondritis and reflux.

Health anxiety is horrible!

Here you go.:)

The longer one has several modules to go through...and will take some time and effort, but will be worth it!  The Super Scanner helps to diffuse fear and focusing on physical symptoms.
