Tingling Fingers And Arm, Chest Pain, Heavy Breathing, Rapid Heartbeat. ECG Clear. What Is It?

Over the past few weeks I've had tingling In three of my fingers and up my arm only recently started getting this after feeling pains on the left side of my chest, and breathing became heavy with rapid heart beating which slowed eventually by itself and made me feel light headed to the point i thought i was going to pass out Contacted my doctor who sent me for and ECG which came bk clear. Currently still getting these symptoms but have no idea what it could be, tingling is permanently there but chest pain comes and goes it feels like a grabbing n that's when heart rate goes rapid.

Dear patient,

It may be by your description that a particular arrhythmia is causing your symptoms of palpitations; the fact that it was not seen in the resting ECG may mean that at that time your heart rhythm was normal. You may consider asking for a Holter monitor if you have daily symptoms or an event monitor if they are more infrequent.


Yours truly,
