please can someone help me i am a 18 year old female and i was diagnosed a month ago with costochondritis (infalmmation of chest wall) but recently ive been experiencing constant palpitations and i am extremely worried its my heart my heart feels normal but then beats hard ( duh duh duh duh DUH duh duh duh duh DUH) i dont think these palpitations are related to the imflammation as its not a symptom for the condition ive been experiencing chest pain too and also when i get these palpitations i cannot sleep i really need to put my mind at rest
hi dear, i feel your pain. ive had the palpitation issues myself for over 10 years. have you had a heart echo done to rule out any structural issues? if youve had EKGS or a holter monitor and theyve captured these palpitations, and said youre ok then i would trust it. if not, i would get these tests for a piece of mind. remember, heart palpitations feel extremely scary, and so not normal, but are almost always benign.
are you getting any breathing problems?
little bit short of breath
hi ive had ECG which were normal but i havent had any other tests im
really worried so im
going to go to A&E today
ask for a d-dimer blood test just to rule out a pulmonary embolism
hi there, just checking on you. how are you feeling with the palpitations? had any other tests done? i hope all is well.
