What Causes Chest Pain And Pain In The Ear Canal?

I am under the cardio unit due to missed heart beats, ectopic and series heart beats, the heart rate is often functioning at twice the speed when it should be a resting heart rate. I have been off work for about for months, exhausted. Symptoms are worse lying down at night, particularly on the left hand side. I have solid chest pain for a few days at a time. This week has been the worst with hardly any let up in the symptoms and tonight lying in bed I got two short but severe electric shock sensations in the heart which I haven t experienced before. I have coaliac disease and struggle to absorb iron (regularly borderline anemic) and am on iron tablets. For a period of time the chest pain was accompanied by a severe pain in the right ear canal. My GP thinks that this could be connected to what is happening in the heart, but no answers yet. Awaiting the outcome of the second holter. Structurally an echo showed the structure of the heart to be sound. The latest development of the shocks being so strong (although extremely short in length is disturbing me - hence looking for answers). Are you able to assist. Thanks. A very tired Trace.

some times angina pains radiate to the back of neck, jaw and extend up. this may be what you could have felt in the ear canal. you might need check up from that angle as well
