I also encourage you to go through some of these discussions on Connect:

Another factor to note is that a few other conditions can also cause this kind of pain – GERD, gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers, muscle spasms in the esophagus, a gallbladder attack, can cause chest pain and symptoms that mimic those of a heart attack or angina:

@awilhelm85, are you noticing any triggers or common factors before the onset of symptoms?

Have they diagnosed you with anything yet cause I go through the same exactly the same thing and everything comes back normal it's getting worse happens everday 3-4 times a day plz help me

They are looking into that right now I really don't have to many worries I can be in the happiest mood and all of a sudden I'm not right

Jacob98898, I wish I could help. But one thing I can tell you is make sure you are getting enough electrolytes. Sometimes we take them for granted. The most important one to get is magnesium. You should be taking in about 430 mg a day of that particular one through food and supplementation -- 1100 mg calcium and 4500 mg of potassium. Salt probably isn't an issue since it's everywhere. I was having serious irregular problems suddenly. While my cardiologists weren't willing to embrace the electrolyte thing, I started monitoring my diet and supplementing magnesium. Everything they couldn't fix got fixed. I wish they would have pushed electrolytes.

York cardiology from the UK has videos on YouTube about arrhythmias.

I listen to almost all of them. The doctor recommended a certain type of magnesium, magnesium taurate. Since I started taking it I have very minimal heart irregular beats.

I also am gluten-free, no red meat. I have seen great progress.No sugar.

I would get palpitations if I moved a certain way, if I bent over, if I ate too fast and my stomach got too full, if I would lay on my side’s while sleeping at night. It was crazy then I started taking the magnesium taurate and it helped immensely.

But then the following happened.

A week ago I got it ! Sudden onset of A fib from stretching my right arm overhead. 😩

Now it seems, I may have a vagal nerve that is being pressed by a muscle on the left side of my neck...From an old accident injury 10 years ago.

If you were having any kind of heart irregularities please have your neck checked and your cervical spine examined by a good chiropractor. You may need to get a CT or MRI done to look for any pressure on an artery or Vagus nerve.

Very few cardiologist will look at the neck for heart problems. Whether it’s a thyroid, impingement, or artery issue. Be your own best friend.

"Be your own best friend" Definitely, and remember that every doctor has lots of patients. You are the only one who can specialize in yourself and learn about yourself in ways that the doctors don't have time to. Be your own advocate and your own supporter. That's a win-win way to deal with problematic situations!

I have experience with palpitations in one episode of a fib.

I definitely would suggest seeing a chiropractor to make sure your cervical spine and thoracic spine are properly aligned.

Many people with heart issues do not realize that these areas of your spine can greatly affect your heart.

My EKG, echocardiogram and other tests were all normal. No one could understand why I was having the symptoms.

I got off of my metoprolol.

No one with any form of a fib should be taking a beta blocker.

I am gluten-free. I do not smoke, I do not drink, I do not take any kind of caffeine in any form.

I eat very healthy and only eat chicken or fish.

Lots of fruits and veggies, nuts.

On the advice of a cardiologist from York cardiology in the UK, I began taking magnesium taurate. This form of magnesium is excellent for the heart.

This plan, has worked for me.

So you may want to see a Chiropractor, consider magnesium taurate, and change your diet.

You can also view YouTube videos from York cardiology.

Thank you.

You need to listen to this cardio doc. https://youtu.be/0-RWj31e3tw
