This is the same anon as the heart thumping thread a while back
basically the palpitations haven't gone, in fact they have increased and are now more frequent in the dayas well as this recently my chest has been feeling really tight for long periods of time. It is hard to describe but it is like a heavy sensation and often my chest like aches idk how to describe it
sometimes i get like lancing/spiking pain as well.
basically idk what to do as these are new and i feel like i should go back to the doctors but i was told to 'destress' last time so idk what to do

I also have occasional chest pains as well. I took a blood test so they could check my Cholesterol level, blood sugar level etc. Turns out I was perfectly healthy which made my GP confused. He then referred me to a Cardiologist to have my ECG taken. The Cardiologist looked at my ECG and told me that I have a perfectly healthy heart. She concluded that I suffer from slight strains in my intercostal muscles, which is normal. I thought I was going to die lol.
see that's the thing, last time i went to the doctors, like you they said my heart sounded fine on the stethoscope although it was going very fast. They are more than occasional thoit is daily tbh.
do you still have them?x

Yes, I still suffer from these chest pains. They can be annoying sometimes, but at least I know that these chest pains have nothing to do with my heart so I am less worried about it. I suggest you ask your GP to refer you to a Cardiologist so that you can have your ECG taken, then they can see whether there is a problem with your heart.
yeah i'm gonna do that i think, he said come back if it dosen't get better and it hasn't
thank you x -

aw i'm sorry to hear that :/ yeah ik what you mean, that is true, i think if i found out it either was or wasn't related to my heart it would put my mind at rest because then i could either get it sorted or i could just leave it
yeah i'm gonna do that i think, he said come back if it dosen't get better and it hasn't
thank you x -

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I am 19 and my GP was surprised when I told him that I have chest pains, because he told me that I am his youngest patient to suffer from chest pains lol.
i am 17exactly, that is why i think it is weird, i mean i am extremely anxious and stressy so idk if that it is but usually the ppl who get chest pains are old people

Hi
I've had a similar problem, Get a fast/pounding heartbeat, and chest pains, also breathless which all started about 2 years ago.
The Dr heard unusual sounds in my heart rhythm so I had a ECG at my Dr's (and have had several more since to keep checking as the chest pains are ongoing) then got sent to a specialist and had a Echo scan.
The conclusion was nothing serious, just a systoloic murmur which explains the unusual sounds and makes the fast heartbeat when my hearts struggling. Then came Asthma to explain the breathlessness. Finally Costochondritis for the Chest pains and I now get painkillers. (I can't spell it, their is good information about it here though http://patient.info/health/costochondritis )
It sounds like some of what I had is very similar to what you've got, if you want to ask any questions please do.

Sounds like palpitations that beta blockers might sort out if it is stress induced - go back to the doctor and tell them how this is affecting you as its not a one off.
