What Causes Heart Fluttering And Neck Pain?

Hello, I am a 41 year old , 150 lbs. in general good health. I teach a fitness class 3 days a week with no problems.

hi
looking at your history
you are having palpitations .

Palpitations are feelings or sensations that your heart is pounding or racing in which you may have an unpleasant awareness of your own heartbeat. Feel like your heart skipped or stopped beats, alpitations can be associate with chest heaviness pian dizzines and fatigue.

a thorough investigation is very important

i would sugggest you to go for
ECG
24 hour HOLTER monitoring ( record the episode of palpitation and we can analyse whether it is arrythmia or sinus tachycardia )
get them done as soon as possible as we have to find out the cause of palpitations

A 2d ECHO should also be done to see the cardiac functions and motion of the wall of heart as chest pain can be angina also,which is due to decreased blood supply

take my advice seriously and get these tests done
thank you
