Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...37 year old female. I relatively good health, experiencing chest heaviness and pain off and on for last 6+ months. Quit smoking 7 weeks ago, but was feeling poorly before. Left ear hurts occasionally, roof of mouth tingles and I am extremely fatigued no matter how much sleep I get. Am I dying or stressed out? Saw a doctor yesterday who said my lungs sound fine and did not chest x-ray, no EKG. Should I go to the ER. Im scared because Ive never felt this way before. Just so tried. Oh, and a phantom feeling of hands under chin, throat and same weird feeling in ear.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.You're all symptoms are suggestive of stress and anxiety more. Since you were smoker, we should definitely rule out heart and lung diseases for your symptoms. So get done ECG, 2d echo and chest x-ray. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart and lung diseases. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
