Im so confused

Hello everyone, im new to this site and was wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me, First let me tell you a little bit about what has been happening to me. Recently i took an attack one night that i was convinced was a heart attack, I had sharp pains in my chest and my left arm, I was short of breath and felt like i was loosing my mind. In the hospital that night they did an EKG and told me everyting was fine, well when i went home that night i was not feeling fine and have not felt fine since that night. This is the part where i need some help from people who are feeling like this as well. Im convinced i have a medical problem rather than an anxiety disorder, i feel as if every doctor is lying to me and is missing something, In the last month i have been at the hopital at least 60 times, and my pains are always the same, my heart is pounding so fast, I have pains in my chest and arm(always left sided), i have had pains in my stomach, pains in my legs, and constant headaches (in all my reading i have not heard anyone mention headaches, is this a symptom ?), but the confusing part about this is this is not only sometimes but it is everyday(all the time) does anxiety exist in this form? I dont really know alot about anxitey this is pretty new to me and would like all the info i can get. This is starting to ruin my life, and i feel like noone understands what is happening to me. Im scared to sleep, dont feel like eating and need some help. If anyone can offer me some information it would be great .

hello everyone

Hey everyone, Just wanted to tell you all thank you for the wonderful support I received on this website, dont think i could have gotten threw it without coming her and knowing i was not alone, I honestly believe noone can understand until they have expirenced it themselvs, so thank you all very much you stories inspire me and get me threw the tough times... I also have a question and wondering once again if anyone can offer me an answer: The anxiety attacks seem to have gone away, what i mean is i no longer have the pains in my chest or the pain in my arm, its a little easier to sleep, things like that, But soon after the feelings of my anxiety attacks went away (i think the same day) I have been having very bad headaches, and they dont seem to want to go away, ive always had headaches before , but not one that an ibprofen would not fix, I guess im just wondering once again does anyone else know about this, Since i have taken my anxiet attack i never seem to feel normal, there is always an ache or a pain somewhere (Can someone Please Help )!! any info you have would be great (or is this even part of the anxiety) ........... anyway once again thank you everyone you have all been a big help :}}
