@jlharsh okay thanks!
For the past approximately 3 months, I have been experiencing persistent and worsening symptoms including chest pain/pressure (described as heavy, tight, and sometimes stabbing), headaches, significant fatigue/lethargy, body aches, shortness of breath, dizziness/feeling faint, and intermittent feverish feelings. More recently, I have also developed pain in my right upper arm with shooting pain, tingling/pins and needles, numbness, and weakness in my arm/hand, along with neck and shoulder pain. The chest pain and arm symptoms have occurred both at rest and with activity and have recently become worse, along with worsening headaches. I have been evaluated in the ER twice, and my testing has included multiple EKGs, troponin and BNP testing, an echocardiogram/TTE, CTA, chest X-ray, head CT, spine CT, routine blood work, inflammation testing, and a gallbladder ultrasound, all of which were reported as normal or negative. I have also been evaluated by cardiology, and I was told the symptoms could potentially be related to coronary artery spasms. I have tried medications including amlodipine, which has not provided relief, as well as imdur mononitrate. I also previously tried heartburn medication and aspirin when pleurisy was considered, but those did not improve my symptoms. Despite the extensive testing and medication trials, I continue to have chest pain, headaches, fatigue, and neurological-type symptoms in my right arm. I am a 24 year old female and prior to this I weight lifted regularly and walking at least a mile if not two or three a day. I can no longer do these things.
