What Causes Chest Pain And Varying Heart Beats?

I have been having extreme chest pains semi- often, and dull aching at other times. I had to wear a 24 hour heart monitor and was told that my heart rate jumps all over, it got as low as 36 at one point and jumped much higher than normal afterwards. What could be wrong?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

Normally heart having regular systol and diastole phase and contract and relaxation of heart chamber regularly ....And so normal heart rhythm is there ....
If disturbance occurs in heart rhythm it is called arrhythmia.....
So heart beats irregular ....

For perfect diagnosis of arrhythmia whether it is premature ventricular contraction , atrial arrhythmia or ventricular one etc....Holter monitoring done for 24 hour ...

ECG and ECHo also useful....

According to cause treatment given like for ex.beta blocker ...

Your blood pressure also should be checked ...

Consult cardiologist for this....

Hope your concern solved...

Take care
