Chest pain/heart palpitations

[Curiousmama2023]

Hi everyone. Just wondering how you all handle random chest pains/heart palpitations? I get them regularly and panic every single time and feel like I am going to have a heart attack each time it happens. I get palpitations like a skipping beat mainly at night getting into bed or laying flat. Sometimes I can put the pains down to muscular but others just get right in my head and freak me out.
I am 29. I’ve had all the heart checks, echo with contrast, stress test, 48hr monitor, ecgs etc. all normal.

No idea but I sometimes get similar. I have high blood pressure and think it might be worrying about that which escalates to an almost panic attack.

I work in cardiology, the best way to tackle this is to first accept there is nothing wrong with your heart, if you’ve had an echo and you’ve had 48hr ECG while you had these symptoms and nothing showed on it then it’s absolutely not your heart.

Its more than likely costocondritis and anxiety, speak to your GP and see if you can see a physio and get some medication/help for your anxiety.

Is it stress? I get palpitations and suffer a bit with stress so take beta blockers when needed

Mine happen when I’m in bed, in the dark and perfectly relaxed. The palpitations are so fierce they physically hurt and it feels like I can’t breathe. I do have a referral for cardiology for another issue and I just think to myself ‘I bet that doesn’t happen if they put a 24 hr monitor on me’ 🙄

I had the most terrifying pain experience yesterday evening and ended up calling 111. I am getting dizzy spells throughout the day. Did check blood pressure which was around 101/69 which is normal. The dizzy spells last for a couple of seconds when walking about like I am swaying on a boat it's not a spinning sensation.
I was standing talking to my husband and I just turned my body to the right as I moved slightly I had a very sharp pain at the centre of my chest I screamed, between my breasts and my husband witnessed this but after a few seconds it went. I pressed around my sternum but it wasn't hurting. I went to the kitchen to drink something I opened the fridge door and then I had the sharp pain again exactly the same location within 5 mins, the pain takes my breath away but what is this pain? It comes on suddenly and is very sharp pain like a stabbing pain where my heart is. I have already mentioned that I am suffering from irregular hearbeat which for now have been ectopic beats I am getting them daily.

I did call 111 straight away and they said to call gp tomorrow morning. However, the last appointment I had with gp said she is unable to do anything more relating to this condition as it could be cardiac related so wait for appointments with cardiologist via nhs. Before this terrifying episode I did call the cardiology department and informed them about the daily extra/,skipped beats (confirmed as sve from 24hr ecg monitor via gp) that are happening continuously she said we don't have emergency appointments available and if you are having problems in between your tests then we advise to go to A&E we cannot give u earlier appointments.i was able to sleep last night but now am terrified about this pain should I go to A&E, I have calmdd down a lot in the last 1 week since I have been told about ectopic beats, but I am having random sharp pain episodes abd couple of days back 7 days ago I only had a ache in my left upper arm to my elbow which hurt when pressed but it went away after 2 days.
The gp did twice press on my joints around my sternum but it didn't hurt. I am really worried about the sharp pains the last occurrence happened 1 week ago at my mums house applying ibuprofen gel makes no difference. Should I go back to A&E? I know gp will say the same thing.

It's like a short sharp pain which takes my breath away right in the middle of the chest. Then afterwards feel like a aching pain around my chest area but does not hurt when pressed. Heart has been doing g weird thuds and flutters throughout the day.
