What Causes Heart Palpitations With Pain In The Arms And Upper Back?

Hello, last night I was playing frisbee and basketball and later that night while I was laying on the couch, my heart started beating rapidly. It soon settled and I was able to rest. Today, my heartbeat has started to speed up and slow down for the last few hours. It is also accompanied by aching in both of my arms and upper back pain.

Hello,
In such situation we should consider some factors like Age, Sex, Psychological condition, mode of daily work, dietary habits, family history, which are not mentioned by you. Still, let's discuss about it.
In this situation you should visit to your primary physician for thorough clinical examination and remedy. ECG, Chest Xray and blood tests like Complete Blood count, Blood sugar level, Renal Function test, Liver Function test, Lipid profile, Thyroid Function test should get done.
After thorough clinical examination and test results your primary physician will decide the line of treatment or refer you to superspecialist if necessary.

Thanks & Take Care,
