Suggest treatment for palpitations, chest tightness and heart pounding in chest/throat
Patient: i am 36 yrs old and have been dealing with heart palpations, my chest is tight, get dizzy often, and now when i lay on my side (either) i can feel my heart pounding in my chest and throat which makes me feel as if i have something stuck in my throat. I am at my wits end with this and dr dont seem to know just yet Doctor: chest heaviness and choking sensation can be a feature of angina ...though 37 year is  early age for angina but it can present at any ageplease mention your smoking habits and sexan ECG should be done for palpitations to rule out supraventricular (sinus tachycardia) or any other arrythmiai would suggest you to go for a test called holter which records every beat for 24hoursa tread mill test and 2d echo cardiography is to be done to find any ischemia in heart walls
