My story is so long and my English it,s not that good to explain it well but I will try. Last October I got a tick bite around Boston area I went to a doctor week after this happen.She took a blood test and set that everything looks fine.After a while(maybe a month) I started to have some strange symptoms like joint pain and pressure in my head....so I thought i need a second exam and I went to another doctor but this time in Bellevue Hospital(NYC).They told me that the blood test that has been taken was to early and it would be impossible to catch anything....They made me another test and set the same thing that looks fine and to come back again in two weeks.So I went they took me blood again and set that if there is something they gonna call me back.They never called so I just left it behind . But lately I am feeling in a hell ....Maybe last 2 month or so I have a lot of problems. Last 3 weeks I've been 5 times in emergency room taken with an ambulance ....(This is the last place I would go) My symptoms are:
-chest pain -fast heard beat (130-150) and sometimes it feels like arrhythmia -pressure around chest -dizziness -pressure in my head -feeling that I am passing out (losing control in my body) -my body is tremble - waking up with numbness in my legs and hands -can't sleep -I lost a sensation on the part of the skin on my right foot. -pressure in my head -headache -sometimes pain around the eyes etc
In emergency room each time they checked my heart with EKG and set it's fine and let me go.So I really don't understand what 's going on with me last 3 weeks there is now day without to feel all of this symptoms.So I went a specialist for my heart They gave me apart that check my heart for 24 h. but the results are coming in Monday next week.The doctor also made me ECO(not sure if I spell it right)and set that it see some inflammation around the heart but the actual heart looks fine.He asked me if I had any cold but I don't have any colds for a long time.... In one of the emergency visits they told me it could be a GERD and gave me some medication like "Omeprazole" and "Zantek" which I am taking for about 7 days but nothing really changes. I really need somebody to help me!I am very tired and can't keep going like that.I need a specialist I need an advice .In emergency they do nothing ....Most of the doctors I've seen don't tell me anything like a diagnose all they are saying are just guesses that could be a Panic attack (Which I don't believe)or GIRD but nobody even mention Lime disease even I explained them about the tick bite.I feel helpless. Pleace help me!

You've come to the right spot. You are NOT alone. There are thousands of us with the exact same story!
It certainly sounds like Lyme! You need to get to a LLMD asap.
Ignore everything everyone told you earlier - the general medical profession knows precisely NOTHING about Lyme disease.
As a bit of inspirtation, I know you're at the beginning of your journey, but I'm 8 months into treatment and you would NEVER know I was so sick, just like you, and so hopeless last year.
