Sassy - Everything you have written (apart from the adrenal problems) has been ruled out. But its funny you bring up hormones as i have only just recently started the pill again and been feeling a bit funny every since. i was wondering if that could be a factor.
Thanks so much for writing back

Look up the Vagas nerve (I think I spelled this right). Stomach tension can cause problems related to it and it runs up in the heart region.

I have had your exact same symptoms, and the heart stabs were due to over breathing causing my ribs to become inflamed, this in turn would cause me to be more short of breath, it was a vicious circle.
