| Personal comments | I had complained for years of 'pain' for lack of a better term. Since we were unsuccessful in recording an episode, I was told it was panic attacks. I continued on 'dealing' with the pain. My heart rate was always high. Dutring endurance events, it would not recover. I think doctors need to LISTEN more to what patients say. The only person who knows how I feel is me. After all these years, I feel frustrated |
