Reply to Lindie's Post: well, earlier this year, I started having severe heart palpatations and would almost get close to passing out. This happened every now and then and usually didn't last too long. I've prolly had about 4 or so of them. My father is a doctor and I also went to another doctor and everyone said they were panic attacks, but I got an echocardiagram and had blood tests done, all were normal. Anyway recently instead and sometimes along with the palpatations, I've been having this severe stinging, like a really bad cramp but it is usually only in my chest and lasts for max, a minute. Well two days ago, I bent over to pick something up and all of a sudden that severe cramping/stinging feeling came over me but it was on my whole left side from my hip up to my chest and in both the left and right sides of my chest. I couldn't take deep breaths, I couldn't walk without shooting pains, and the slightest movement caused me to start crying. I figured it would go away quickly like most things I've had to, but it lasted for about an hour and a half. Today I've started to get it again in my side, but it didn't get really bad and disappeared pretty quickly although it was followed by extremely severe abdominal cramps that went on for quite some time.
