Sorry to hear Mike. Chris is right, last year i was diagnosed for 5 FING months of a sinus infection. I was at my doct. or urgent care over 10 times in 5 months, turns out i had Pneumonia. The misdiagnosis almost killed me. when i went to ER, i was in Heart, liver and  kidney failure i was also septic. not to mention my A1C was at 15. they told my family they had no idea how i was alive and to prepare as they didn't think i'd make it. If you're not getting results you want, force them to broadly test, for EVERYTHING. when they did my Echo, my ejection fraction was 8% normal is like 55-60%. You don't need opinions, you need answers. God i hope you get answers. 

I have an Echo scheduled for next week. Every test for every possible answer has come back negative so far. Some of my symptoms are mildly better but I still have chest issues. I was awakened at 3:30 this morning with my heart racing. I was able to calm myself down and fall back asleep about 90 minutes later. 

I very much appreciate your advice. I've been in and out of the doctor's several times. I'm calling again after lunch. 

Your story is incredibly scary. I had no idea the extent of your illness. Obviously very happy that you made it through all of that.

i had not really slept in 3 months. I would fall asleep and wake back up. I never had a panic attack but i assume thats what it feels like. My heart would racing. The ER Dr said that could have been a missed sign, as i was in A-Fib. i have to assume that all checked out ok for you. The Doctors and nurses at PSU Hampden saved my life. They had no idea what was wrong and started treating me broadly while they honed on the problem. No dude was a Cath installed, but after they inserted that, they took 7.5 liters of liquid off me in 12 hours..Think about that  That was the first night i fell asleep and slept all night. My daughter told me the next morning my brother told her after i fell asleep he's alright, he is finally sleeping(ICU allowed 2 people at a time) but they loved me and let everyone in, and i had no idea the room was filled. Hell didn't want me and heaven wasn't ready for me. and now everyday is a Holiday for me. 

Good luck my friend.
