What Causes Palpitations And Pain In Chest?

I am a 43 year old male. I have osteoarthritis, fibromyagia, and raynauds. I have been having chest pain for 5 or 6 months. I have had 2 ekgs (very quick ones, less than a minute) and had a 24hr heart monitor. All came back normal. When I get the pain it feels like my heart has skipped a beat or two and my arms go numb. Now when this happens it seems that the lights get brighter. With or without my eyes closed.What could be the cause of this pain?

Hi,

Did you have such symptoms while your were wearing Holter? If yes, then it means this is not cardiac, and this can very well be gastritis and reflux disease. You should avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress.

Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR. If you didn't have these symptoms at that time, and if you are having symptoms now, you can wear it again.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
