I am a 51 year old female and am having chest pains. I even went to the ER thinking I had a heart attact, but 2 ekg's, chest x-ray and blood work were normal. I do not have health insurance, so really cannot go to get it checked out. Chest pain started about 6 months ago and it would be under my left breast and center of chest. I used to smoke and drink quite a lot but cut out smoking 3 months ago when I had my episode and had to got to the ER. I still drink occaisionally, but then get rapid heart rate if I do. I get chest pains now further up my chest and it occurs almost every day. Just today I had chest pain in middle of chest under the sternum and it was followed by a rapid heart rate of about 115. Laid down and heart rate returned to normal. I know I should get tests, but without health insurance, what am I supposed to do? Also, when laying down I fell like a big heart beat, it is weird, the bottom of my feet sort of feel pulsing. I run about 2.5 miles about 4 to 5 times a week and it doesn't bother me, except sometimes I burp while running. What is wrong with me? I have never had chest pain before, although when younger doctors told me I had a heart murmur throughout my 20's and 30's, but now it doesn't seem to be here any longer.
