Hypoxia and Medicine

17 yr female...Sick since August. Help? :(?

Hey, hope you guys can help me.? Please help me out if you can. :) I was always a 17 year-old-girl, was always healthy with no serious medical problems. I'm 5'2 or '4 (I forgot), 116 pounds. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. I lived a normal life (more or less, lol), but I suffer still from depression & stuff... :( But for whatever reason, I started getting REALLY REALLY sick near the end of August 2008, & I've been "sick" ever since then. And it's January now!! I have these horrible symptoms that won't seem to go away & no one can tell me why. :( - Constant pounding, hard, heavy heartbeat - Swollen, sore, yucky feeling throat - Weird breathing (I have an odd awareness of my own breath ALOT) - Weird fluttery, uncomfortable "air" feelings in chest - Stomach pains & feeling like my stomach has acid in it - On & off urinary tract infections I was so sick & scared for months until the docs finally diagnosed me with an H. pylori infection. So I went on a round of 3 antibiotics that I had to take 3 times a day for a month. And the side-effects were not pleasant, lol!! I'm ALOT better than I used to be, but I still have these weird symptoms & it's hard for me to enjoy life now because they make me feel so uncomfortable. I cry everyday because of this. The docs say it's anxiety, and maybe it is. But that doesn't change what I'm feeling. I've had many tests done, including: - Several blood & urine tests - 3 Ultrasounds of my heart - 24 Holtor monitor - Stress test - Physicals - Endoscopy I'm going with my Dad over to the clinic tomorrow to talk with a doctor. I'm going to get a PAP Smear/pelvic exam I think & I got to find out my biopsy results (which I'm sure is fine because I think they would've called us if they found something serious). The cardiologist said I could live to 100 with the condition that my heart is in. He said I just need to train my heart & work it out a bit more. All the doctors say I'm a perfectly healthy normal girl. I'm attractive, healthy, & fit. But my heart pounds even when I just go up/down a flight of stairs, lol!! I'm super glad they haven't found anything for me to worry about, but I STILL have these symptoms & they're just awful. I wish they would just go away. I want my normal life back. Any help and/or advice on what I should do? Thanks for taking to the time to read this... oh, yeah... HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! :) 4 minutes ago - 3 days left to answer. Additional Details 2 minutes ago I've also been getting more sick lately...cold & flu symptoms. Probably from the cold. And I take Zoloft for depression...just thought I'd mention it, hehee. NO, I'm not crazy, lol. :) Just kinda uptight & worried... Oh, I've been taking it for about 2 years. I might stop taking it & see if I feel any better. But I guess I'll have to talk to the doc about that. Thnx for the help!! <3

1. How long have you been taking Zoloft? I had some of the same reactions from the meds.
2. What you think is what you are!!! Swami Vivekananda once said. So you have to feel- you're perfectly alright & nothing trobules you. I would suggest u to go for medidation it'll help a lot to feel better & healthy & doctors are there to cure disease, plz do take their advise.
