Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

The pain may cause excessive adrenaline release and this is why the pain is responsible for the changes in your HR (from 45 to 250 bpm).

However to discuss about the best treatment can you upload the Holter reports.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
