Heart Pain?

[bannanon]

Hi - I am a 41 year very healthy female.  I run 5 miles per day.  A few months ago I was having some fluttering and abnormal heart beats that after wearing a monitor all checked out ok (PVCS).  I have had all the tests, echo, ekg, holter and event monitor.  I had a stress test 3 years ago, all normal.  My cholesterol is 170 and my bp is 100/60.  Resting pulse 60.  My question is this...a few times over the last couple of weeks I have had this intense stabbing pain either on the left side or right side of my chest.  Last night it was so bad that it woke me up from sleep.  It only lasted about a minute then goes away.  Once I start moving around it seems to go away.  No other symptoms with it, other than the ones I create from my panic:)  Is this something I should go back to my cardiologist with even though he told me that my heart was in great shape?  Could it just be muscle pain?  I'm scared.

Thanks!
Tracy

Your symptoms could be related to an electrolytic imbalance. There could be the spasms of the heart's micro vessel system.

It sounds as though it might be muscle spasms.  Have you tried stretching when you get these?
