Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain And Irregular Palpitations
On Sunday I went to the A&E complaining that I had pain around the heart, I was given blood tests and an ECG. I was told my haemoglobin was a little low and that I need to have a few more test. Today I had a test using the tread mill, I was told that my heart seemed normal and I never suffered a palpitations, only experience a pulling sensation to my heart at least three times and the constant feeling of pressure. The doctor said, I didn't have a heart problem, which is fine, but I am just left wondering why I have the continuing pain and the irregular palpitations? Thank you Maria

you palpitations may have many different causes...you may have extra heart beats (likes PAC's or PVC's), or be predisposed to fast, irregular heart rates. you should get a 24hr holter moniter (prescribed by your doctor) to look for irregular heart beats and cause of the sensation of palpitations, then treatment can be prescribed depending on what the cause is
