hey dude.I had the same exact problem. Though im only 15 years of age. They put me on a holter monitor.They didnt find anything. They also gave me a list and they said to mark down whatever I do at what time and how I was feeling when I did such a thing. They found zip!

I have no idea whats happening. But im willing to do anything for it to go away. Anyway. Try contact me from anywhere you can. Private message me or somthing I dont care. thanks blue. Contact me when ever possible.

Holter monitor came back & my heart is fine. I am now on a beta blocker for the time being to get my heart rate down. They also have me on an anxiety medication for awhile, just to get me back on track. Have had a problem with anxiety since I started having problems with my gallbladder & had surgery to remove it this past april. Also my husband lost his job last october & he was in the hospital this past year as well. So it's not been a good year.


I am also having some bad problems with heartburn since gallbladder surgery & take prilosec. Heartburn, if bad enough, can mimic heart pain as the nerves in your esophagus & heart overlap in your chest. It can also cause a rapid heart rate.

Stress does a number on the body! I would cut caffeine out=i had a high heart rate after I had a minor stroke (i'm 32) they told me no soda, tea, coffee and my heart rate is now in the eighties. I lost ten pounds and exercise. I just got the green light that I am healthy. What a relief. When you feel stress why don't you try yoga or listen to some nice music. You would be surprised how the body response to that!!

Hi jennys11,
you gave some good advice. I totally agree it's stress, as it's been a bad year for me & hubby. Dr said it's anxiety attacks, everything this past year built up on me. I hardly drink caffeine, maybe one cup of coffee in the morning. I've been an avid exerciser for the past decade & walking on the treadmill for a good 20 minute stretch or another form of exercise definitely helps my stress levels. I've been able to get my heart rate back down between 70/80. When I feel it going back up, because of anxiety, I do a lot of slow breathing. Something else i'm finding helps with the stress/anxiety when I can't sleep, is taking valerian root at night. It definitely helps to get a good nights sleep.


Hope everything continues well with your health.

A heart attack normally presents as "crushing" chest pain which may radiate up to the left shoulder and down the left arm. The arm has no somatic innervation so it cannot feel pain per se. However it does transmit a different form of pain through the same nerves that take arm pain through to the brain. This pain is one that hurts on its own.

It hurts on its own. However, it is not the nexk that hurts but rather a pain that goes up the left arm , through the shoulder and into the jaw.
indigestion is more of a burning sensation and affects a larger area - daft as it sounds.
