About 4 months ago I had been experiencing a tightning sensation at my neck which I thought might of been high blood pressure as the nurse at work had said when I began working at my current job, that it was a bit high. Then the week following I ws sitting in a training session, and about 30 mins into it I started to feel hot and sweaty, then my heart started racing for no reason and I experienced palpatations, I felt asthough I was going to black out. At this point I felt what I would describe as a twang in my chest, after which my pulse started returning back to normal, and I felt a little weak. I managed to keep looking normal as noone seemed to notice, and by the end of the training I felt ok again.


Since then this hasn't happened again, althogh my heart does race for no reason sometimes. Does it sound like I may have a problem? The only explanation I can put is I experimented with ecstasy 2 years ago, and took around 6 over a 12 hour period. The next day I was fine, but on the second day I had something similar to what I described above, almost passing out and feeling tightness around my neck, etc etc.


Could this be related so long after taking the drug, or could I have damaged my circulation/heart in some way?

I'm 24 years old, smoke and don't do as much exercise as I know I should.
