@babyblues262 I was in Emergency with chest pains some years ago, and the doctor on call took the time to explain to me what he thought could be the cause, after doing ECG, chest X-ray, etc. and ruling out a cardiac problem. Turned out it was costochondritis and once I knew what it was I could deal with it.

Other doctors on previous visits to Emerg. would just wave it off as “it’s all in your head” or a “panic attack” because I also had a history of that. In my experience if doctors know you have a history of panic disorder, fibromyalgia, or whatever, they tend to just chalk everything up to that if they don’t have an answer.
