Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchiness In The Chest And Numbness In The Jaw

I have a persistent itchy, squeezing feeling in my chest. I also have a tight, strangled feeling in my throat with lower jaw numbness and tingling. I have felt this for the last 8-9 months. I have seen numerous drs, have had CT scan of my chest, checked for thyroid issues, checked for cardiac issues, I have had blood tests for all kinds of auto-immune and RA disorders. Everything checks out normal. But this feeling doesn t go away, and I just have the feeling that it s not right. I have been treated with Nexium, Protonix, Dexilant, Elavil, Buspar, Bentyl, Carafate, Prednisone, and antibiotics. Nothing improves my symptoms.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your all symptoms are mostly due to uncontrolled stress and anxiety.
You have undergone extensive blood reports, CT scans, heart reports, thyroid reports etc and all are normal.
You have taken many drugs without any improvement.
All these favour, stress and anxiety related symptoms more.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
