so
ive had a plugged sinus and increasingly bad chest pains / headaches for about 4 years. the sinus doc told me my sinus is crooked and that i can either spray steroids up my nose every day or get facial surgery. ive done neither and it may contribute to the other two things i listed. i get chest pains every time i work out my upper torso, so ive stopped going to the gym and lost about 20 lbs. of muscle over the last 2 years since it became very bad. i replaced gym, soccer, and regular sex with video games, pool, and vigorous masterbation. now sometimes i get the chest pains just from breaking hard in pool (thankfully the other activities arent yet affected )
the headaches are just as bad as the chest pains. any time i dont get at least 8 hours sleep, any time i dont eat quite right, and a fair margin of the time for no apparant reason, i seem to get pretty painful headaches. these bother me psychologically because i nEVER had headaches or migraines growing up, this began developing only in my early 20s. also my dad died from brain cancer when i was 14 (obvious food for paranoid obsession there..)
so
im wasting away, i barely leave my house now other than to go to school (which ive dropped from a B+/A- to a C/C+ average in - college)
im not totally alone. i do play pool with a group of other guys at school a couple of times a week, get invited out to bars where friends play and drink a few times a week (although i rarely go because my headaches are now just about constant and i gave up drinking several years back because when i drink they are THE WORST and i start smelling blood intensely every single time)
i cant even run on the treadmill without my sinus getting all messed up and weird air bubbles getting trapped around my ears and making my head hurt more. i
i know the obvious response is SEE A DOCTOR FIGURE YOUR honeysuckle OUT
but the problem is thus far they havent had much to tell me. ive had several CT scans since it began, several heart and chest tests including ultrasound, and i even had a barium swallow recently (i regurgitate a bit of food every single time i eat, my doctor thought i might have an issue pertaining to that which would explain my chest pains - my father had a hiatus hernia and they are known to cause symptoms identical to this including pain similar to heart attack) but the results came back completely normal
i feel
trapped
if youre all wondering why the hell im posting this here and not on a medical website, im not looking for answers. there are no simple answers of magical internet diagnostic tools - ive looked.
i just
it really sucks and i dont know what to do anymore
