Irregular and chronic heart beat and left side chest pain

[Libelle]

I have had minor heart palpitations over the years which I assumed were normal because I have been living with an undiagnosed condition that causes my nerves to jump all over my body 24 hours a day.  Very annoying.  Anyway, over the past few months, the palpitations have become a weekly event, then daily, now they are acting up at least 10 times a day.  I am also experiencing chest pains and a heavy feeling in my left shoulder when walking.  I am extremely fatigued too.

Now I'll throw a monkey wrench in the mix:  I have been working in Kuwait in an extremely hot climate and it's very dusty here.  Am I having heart issues or am I adjusting to the climate?

Another wrench:  I have no thyroid gland.  Could I need to increase my daily intake of synthroid?

I don't know what to do.  

Thanks.

Yes, please see a doctor ASAP....just to be safe..then you can adjust to the dust and climate. Keep us posted and feel better!

Any time someone says they are having chest pain and left side shoulder pain, you MUST see a cardioloigst. Please go to a doctor asap. Sometimes things can mimic things and sometimes they are the real thing. Women having heart attacks can experience shoulder pain or back or stomach pain. I say get the serious ruled out asap, then you can move down the line. I wish you well.
