What Causes Sudden Shock Like Feelings In The Chest?

I have had in the last year tests for sleep apnea, wore a heart monitor for 48 hours, had blood work, tests in the hospital Ekg and 6 hour enzyme tests, two days later, had a test on the treadmill, everything is fine? I seem to get these shock like feelings in my chest about twice a week and then they go away for a month or so and come back. They last no more than a second but it hits you so you would almost drop your coffee, it truly feels like a shock, my doctor has no answers, can you help?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your extensive cardiac work up is normal, so no need to worry for heart diseases for your symptoms.
Sudden shock like feeling is also seen with stress and anxiety.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
