I am really glad I found your story. I’m sorry you’re still having issues. I am having the exact same issues to the T. I’ve seen a heart doctor who is starting to run tests. I also did a PFT which said I have asthma even though I’ve never had any asthma before in my life. I see a pulmonologist in like a month. I have to take omeprazole for two more weeks before I can see a GI. All the heart tests so far have been good. So is my blood pressure. I’m frustrated like you but glad I’ve stumbled upon this.

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @chancefield. It sounds like you're getting a thorough workup.

What symptoms are the most challenging for you right now?

I’ll be interested in your experience and recommendation from docs. My last appointment was with pain management. He couldn’t figure out, based on MRIs, what could be causing symptoms other than neck/arm pain. Gave me script for low dose Gabapentin with vague dosage instructions. “1-2-3 times a day” to see what works. I haven’t taken any yet. Just don’t see the point.
