No I hAve had ekg and what not done at the error but I have not been to the dr in 5 years.. it's to the point I always think every pain I'm going to drop dead. My great grandmother was the same way and she passed away with the dr saying she was 100% fine.I don't have insurance . I'm a recovery addict on subutex . I just don't want to think I'm going to drop dead every step I take. Thanks for your time Alex

Hi Alex
Can you get insurance or find a clinic that works on a sliding pay scale if that would help you? Maybe at this point a good work up would help you start at square one without all the worry of not knowing. What if's are one of the biggest anxiety provokers and most of the time we don;t have anything to worry about. If you are in the US, you may be able to get a full set of labs done at your local health department. I do this because it cost me about 950 dollars less than the lab work at the local hospital. I just got a set done and am waiting to get the results tuesday. That would check the kidneys, liver, blood and thyroid as well as potassium calcium and sodium levels, also blood sugar. It would be a start. How long ago was your EKG and other tests and what did they tell you?
