Are Persistent Palpitation, Headache And Chest Pain A Cause For Concern?
My fiance is experiencing rapid heart beat, headache and some chest pain. All his test (blood work, EKG) have come back normal, but he still feels like something is not right. He will be seeing a cardiologist. What other diagnostic test will they run? Will they schedule them right away?

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern
1. If all the tests conducted are Normal then prior to getting an appointment with a Cardiologist exclude other common causes like:
- Acute stress reaction
- Panic attack
- Generalized Anxiety disorder
- excessive caffeine use
- Tension Headache [migraine headache]
2. Other tests/investigation(s) which they might carry is/are:
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Chest X-ray
- Blood electrolytes [particularly low potassium]
- TMT [tread mill test]
- Echocardography
