marriage help: I am so depressed and I have been having chest pains for months. - Help.com

Could the chest pains be anxiety attacks? And why do your children tell you they hate you?? How old are they?

you know, that ‘broken heart syndrome’ is reall?
it can be from just extreme depression and youre heart could fail. not to scare you. but you should get it checked out. chest pains arent anything to fool around with, or to put aside.

Your Cardiologist sounds retarded
Your kids don’t hate you or want you to die they’re just saying that
I know this isn’t the most helpful advice but its the solid truth of the matter
The Chest pains sound serious, advice on help.com while Awesome is not a serious problem solver you should try another doctor or someone holistic They always have SWEET cures for stuff. Either way - Good luck, im sure everything will turn out for the best.
It’s always darkest before dawn =)

I’d have to agree with Chameleon, something similar happened to me recently. I was afraid I was having an asthma attack, or worse with the pain in my chest, but after a week of symptoms I went to the ER, and they said it was most likely caused by anxiety. Sure enough, after accepting that it was stress-induced and not life-threatening, I was able to think through some things and talk to people, and the symptoms slowly got less and less. No guarantees they’re gone for good, but I found a way to cope if they come back. I talked to some people later, and they said anxiety attacks can last for months sometimes.
It sounds like you have lot of stress in your life that isn’t being dealt with. I can’t claim to know your situation or how you best relieve stress, but a couple of things: I doubt your kids hate you. Kids, or all people for that matter, often express anger in ways that we can easily misunderstand as directed at us. Also, have you tried talking to your wife? Does she understand how frustrated you are about your home life right now? I’m sure she has a reason for not giving you hours, maybe asking her about it would help?

youre kids dont hate youu, ive said that to my parents before, and i feel soooo bad that i did. cuz i never really meant it. but im sure they thought i meant it :[

but seriously, try to go to a different doctor. 2nd or 3rd opinions are always the best way to go, specially when something isnt right.
tell him everyttthingggg that is going on. broken heart syndrome sounds about right in this case for you. (it sounds so dumb, but its a real condition.)
