So I've had chest pain, shortness of breath, persistent lightheadedness and fainting spells plaguing me since late November, the cardiologists verdict - anxiety disorder. How can this be possible, I've been told I had anxiety years before the symptoms came up, so why is my suffering being dismissed as nothing? How can I get help, I can't remain dependent on painkillers for the rest of my life if "it's nothing but some anxiety".
Were you prescribed the pain killers or did you just start taking them? Which ones are you taking as they can all do long term harm and cease to be effective in time..
