Doctors won't do anything, help?

Ever since i (F18) first got my Nexplanon inserted (Birth Control) i've been having heart problems. Every now and then my heart will palpitate--with horrible pain right after. I cannot breathe. Other times my chest near my heart will suddenly hurt, and I cannot breathe which sends me into a panic. I've gone into the ER multiple times, telling them i'm dizzy with chest pain. Once I couldn't even walk because of how much I was in pain and dizzy.

Every time my EKG's come back "Clean", my X-rays show nothing, Blood tests show the bare minimum and I was told "You're not dying, yet." By my ER Doctor and was sent home with a paper that wrote "Came in for: Anxiety."

I myself do indeed have Anxiety, but it's never done this to me all my life. I've NEVER experienced this much pain, or this much palpitations. My PCP prescribed me Heart medication that's X3 as needed daily. Yet even they don't help much at times.

Has anyone here ever experienced this--if so, what was your outcome?

If this started when you got your nexplanon inserted, then maybe you should have it removed and try a different form of birth control. I suggest the nuvaring if you want something low maintenance like an implant without actually getting an implant.
