Abnormal EKG and symptoms

I am 23 and have had good health my whole life. I recently went for a checkup and I was having tingles in my chest my doc ran and EKG and it came up abnormal due to an unspecified ST abnormality. I had a second one done a day later with the same result. I did a stress test at that time (over 2 months ago) and it came back normal. I tried to put it out of my head but I was having weird symptomes tingles all over in left arm and legs. I had an MRI or head and that was normal to rule out neurology. I also had an echo which revealed a structurally normal heart (slight trace of valve regurgitation). I ahve been to the ER 3 times with chest pains and everytime they say they don't think it's heart related I feel they take it that serious because I've have a normal ekgs in the ER. I went back to doc and she ran another a few days ago and it came up abnormal ST agian. MY symptoms include chest pain, some back pain(backside of my heart), When I'm sitting still I can feel my heartbeat in my body. In my left palm and in other parts of my body I can feel my pulse sometimes it is moving faster then the pulse in my neck. Some parts of my body flutter and it feels like they are pumping blood (underside of my foot, shoulder, leg, above the knee) I also just feel weird and sometimes my pulse feels like it might slow in the coarse of normal beats.  Any thoughts ? I have a cardiologist appointment in 8 days but its hard to wait when you feel like this everyday.

It sounds like you are very anxious.  The symptoms of chest pain can sometimes be related to heart problems, but in a 22 year old it very rarely is.  When you through in all the other symptoms of sensation in your arms, legs, back, feeling your heart beats, foot, leg.....it sounds like you are super sensitive to your pulse.  This is almost never something to worry about.  If you have a normal stress test and echocardiogram --there aren't many other tests that can be run.  Non specific ST changes are very non specific -- it is hard to know how to interpret them.

I hope this helps.
