Hi Vincent, I'm quessing that you have had all these symptoms checked by a cardiologist and thatt his has come to nothing, and the assumption is that they are psychogenic?
I'd suggest the folowing:
1. Start seeing a psychologist regularly
2. Take an antidepressant (SSRI, Effexor or Remeron) every day to reduce anxiety
3. Take a short course to benzodiazepine (Valium, Ativan, Xanax) to block anxiety and prove to your self that these symptoms can be controlled. If need be, you might even neet to take a benzodiazepine long term, but this shouldnt be the first choice
