Hey,
I’m not too sure if this post belongs here but i’m going to share it here since it involves a rapid heartbeat as well. For months i’ve been dealing with awful symptoms, back pain, chest pain, arm pain. They come and go but whats the most frusterating is the fatigue that I consistantly have.
I occasionally have these “attacks” where my entire chest and arms start cramping, it’s hard to explain it’s a stiff feeling. extremely painful and uncomfortable and my heart rate always shoots up. they’ve caught it on a monitor at a hospital, my hearts rhythms are normal just fast. i got an echo done which was normal and a holter monitor which was also normal. They told me i have atrial tachycardia which requires no medication.
these attacks feel like a heart attack, or something awful. they’re incredibly painful and even as i’m writing this i have symptoms (back, chest, arms all hurt). i feel like i’ve been run over by a car.
anyone else experience this? my gp is no help. idk if its worth mentioning i’m 20 and these symptoms started after a very mile head injury. i feel like the fast heart rate is a symptom of another issue or something.
thanks
