What causes  heart palpitations and chest pain?
Patient: Hi,  I'm 33 years old female been suffering heart palpitations, not only is my heart racing I can see my left side of my chest fluttering/ moving. I have theses episodes most time of the day and have been suffering this symptom for about 2 months I also have pain and discomfort on the left side of my chest and upper arm like a stinging/burning pain. What could be the cause of my symptoms. Doctor: Dear Ms,Heart palpitation can be related to anxiety, over-tiredness, etc, in your age usually there is nothing serious.Most probably your pain comes from your spine. I would advise you to take Ibuprofen 400 mg, three times a day, after meal, if you don't feel better in a 5 days, I would advise you to have your vertebra checked.Hope I could help youWishing you good healthIn case of further questions don't hesitate to askRegards,
