My heart is beating out of my chest and the right side of my chest just feels so constrained. I got up to carry a laundry basket upstairs and after climbing two flights of stairs my heart was beating and I could feel my heart beat in the back of head. I feel like I'm not really here. I'm lethargic and I sleep until two and stay up until five and I feel like smashing my head against a wall. Yesterday I slipped a little bit in the bathtub and I found myself saying, "Why couldn't I just fall down?" I'm still scared. I stay up late because I'm scared I won't wake up once I fall asleep. I sleep late because I just hate being up and being paranoid.
I get these weird, sharp, random pains in my head and it scares me. My throat is dry and my hands are numb and I feel so scared. I feel so terrible. I don't feel real anymore. I woke up this morning and I actually questioned wheather or not I was alive.
My head hurts/feels funny all the time. I constantly feel this pressure in the back of my head, like someone's squeezing it. I've been to the doctor time and time again and my blood pressure, vision, reflexes, and everything's fine, but they've never really fully examined my head and I'm so paranoid that something really wrong with me. I constantly feel nauseas, and sometimes when I get up from sitting or laying down, I get this really fuzzy vision where I see black dots and takes a few seconds to clear up.
What could be wrong with me? Help?

Like you, I went to the doctors time and again, yet they found absolutely nothing wrong with me. They also thought I could be making it up to get attention - which I wasn't, because I was so ill I couldn't go to school for ages. It scared me alot. To be perfectly honest, I thought I was dying and sometimes that would bring on panic attacks. That was the last straw. I went back to the doctors, explained the whole situation, and how there HAD to be something wrong with me. Doctors couldn't find anything so said I had a viral infection. (I think they say that when they honestly have no idea themselves).
The feeling you've described about the fuzzy vision and black dots when you stand up etc are really common and happen to alot of people. They could be perfectly normal, or in some way related to your other symptoms.
In your situation, it could be nothing, like me, something really simple such as over tired, anemia, or could be something which needs treatment.
When it comes to your health, never question it. If you feel as unwell as you say, you must get another opinion. Go to a different doctor, or visit a specialist at the hospital.
The symptoms you've explained could be a number of things, and noone here can give you a proper diagnosis.

But i think if its really bad and getting worse you should see some kind of special doctor. Like not just a normal doctor, talk to your mom or dad and tell them you really think you need some help!!!
