arm pain...angina?

[zo]

About 3 weeks ago I was having alot of flutters,skipped beats,and hard heart beat,that lasted for about 2 weeks.
Then they dissapeared as quick as they appeared.
I have had a couple more of these "bouts"in the past and even have seen a doctor that told me that my heart is fine and that it was stress.

About 5 days ago I started having this buring feeling that would creep up and down my left arm just above the elbow and down to my wrist.
I have no pressure or pain in my chest though,could this be angina even though there is no chest pain?
When it first started it was much more intense and painful,now its much less painful but I still have it.
I get it at rest,while driving,anything.
Its not constant it comes and goes.
Im scared now that this may have some conncection with what was going on with my heart.
Im an active 30 year old female who exersizes regularly(yoga)

Dear zoe,

It is unlikely that the chest pain is due to coronary artery blockages but not impossible.  Other possible causes could be gastric reflux, musculoskeletal or neurologic.  PVCs and PACs cause chest pain in some individuals. I would recommend making an appointment to see you doctor for further evaluation.

Approximately three weeks ago, I was sent to the ER while I was at a routine office visit with my doctor.  I had had some chest pain that day, sharp in duration the lasted about 15 minutes with indigestion.  The nurse performed an EKG which showed some inverted T waves in one of the leads.  I spent three hours in the ER, was given nitro, and was to return to the dr the following day.  I went for my office visit to have an echo stress test.  Before I actually started to walk my heart rate went up to 182 beats per minute and I was not allowed to walk.  I was admitted as a 23 hour to the hospital.  The following day my heart rate was 60 and my doctor said I could go home.  When I sat up my heart rate went up into the 120's.  He then told me that I would have to wait and see the cardiologists.  The doctors presume that Sudafed affected the conductivity of my heart.  I have worn a Holter Monitor since then which showed I was having episodes of SVT.  I also had a stress test and another echo.  Structurally by the echo, my heart is normal.  The baseline ekg, showed ST&T wave changes, q waves, etc and the nurse marked that I had an old inferior wall MI and an old lateral wall MI.  The end result was "Equivocal for Ischemia"  My cardiologist told me to exercise to strenghthen my heart, I met my target heart rate within 4 minutes and I should have gone 9. He also put me on Toprol 25 mg a day which my primary doctor told me yesterday he may need to increase.  The cardiologist also stated he did not know why my heart was racing and assured me that everything is okay.  But in view of my risk factors, my father died sudden death at 43, and as of 4 mos ago my cholesterol is high(I am to be put on medicine for that too) he wants to follow me closely.  I do not have high blood pressure or diabetes.  I am 35 years old.  What questions do I need to ask.  I seem to be getting a lot of contradictory information. Does the EKG reading really mean that I had a heart attack?
