Heart Problems ???

Hi. Firstly i am 22 male 13stones fairly athletic, I have recently been getting palputatuions and notciced at certain times maybe once or twice a day my heart beats harder and slightly quicker. normally this happens after i fell a kind of addrenaline rush in my stomach. Also i get burning sensations in my arms and shoulders and sometimes hands and feet. I also get a sharp pain in my chest every now and then all the symptoms i have normally last between 20 seconds to 5 minutes, Also have had a strange sensation in my sternum which made me go dizzy and feel like i needed to gasp for air. My chest Does not feel tight but sometimes for small spells can be irritating. ilso been getting some stabbing pains in head and skin any ideas I HAD A ECG THAT WAS NORMAL AND BLOOD TESTS WERE ALSO NORMAL, WHAT DOES THAT INDICATE ? also i am having a echocardiogram on tuesday ? HELP PLEASE !!

It would be best to get the result of the echocardiogram before deciding on the course of treatment. If it is normal, and there is no evidence of congenital heart disease, then these are likely to represent non sustained SVT or PACs alone. You may need a thyroid check, and may benefit from a beta blocker. If this is not sufficient then an event monitor can be used to figure out what the rhythm is during these events to help guide future treatment options.

Wow, all of these symptoms are very close to what I have been experiencing lately for about a month.  I think I need to go see a specialist.  Does anyone know a good place for Cardiology Indianapolis?

Mostly when relaxing or sitting down. But the strange stomach sensation occours when walking somewhere. then it make me dizzy. I dont think eating has any thing to do with my symptoms to be honest ! Thanx

Just out of interest, when do these symptoms occur? after eating? at rest? during exercise? Is there any kind of activity you can associate it with?
