"...there are so many things little and big that are tms, I wouldn't have time to write about all of them": Told to icelikeaninja by Dr. Sarno
Sound's like it's benign and not life-threatening. As in the Good Doctor's quote above, most anything can morph into TMS if your unconscious is looking for a psychlogical defense mechanism to PROTECT you with. TMS's purpose is to prevent you from feeling what the unconscious perceives is the greater hurt of your having to deal with the emotional issues head-on.
Recenty I've been hearing more and more about friends and acquaintances who have undergone heart surgery AND are up and about within days, back to work as usual, and even working underneath cars doing repairs. It seems "heart-surgery" is becoming almost as routine as getting a root-canal. Bernie Sanders recently had a hear-attack and is back on the campaign trail. To me this would have been unheard of a few years ago, when if you had heart surgery it was serious business!
Dr. Sarno said "surgery was our best placebo"--maybe heart issues are the latest TMS symptom, as back-pain replaced ulcers as the favored TMS structural location to talk-about. Modern medicine is very good at finding symptoms with MRI's that may be normal, benign structural anomalies. Many including myself, have mistaken TMS chest pain for a heart attack and run off to the ER to have a battery of tests performed to discover it was a panic attack--you get pretty panicky when you think you're experiencing a heart attack. A kindly ER doctor told me that panic attacks and the consequences form the over-use of pain killers are two of the most frequent causes for ER visits.
Boiler-plate : I'm a tennis player and not a doctor so don't take this as medical advice. Sounds like you've been checked out and they can't find anything wrong--this usually equals TMS. Modern medicine is good at dx'ing that are real--or--are normal sturctural anomalies. It's hard to charge $25,000 for an ER, visit and then tell you that all it was that you fainted from excitement at winning a big jackpot in a smokey casino at Tahoe or Reno at 5,000 feet of altitude.
