Irregular heart patterns.. Not sure what's going on?
I am 17 years old and have had horrible chest pain for 3 years now. I've been to the ER and doctor many times for it but without looking into it they've told me "heart burn" and "panic attacks" .. The pains are so bad I collapse and can not breathe, come suddenly with nothing triggering them, last about 10 minutes then go away. It is a sharp stabbing that leaves me lying on the floor screaming with pain on a regular basis.. Lately I've notices ever couple beats my heart will take a long pause then have one strong, powerful beat. It is not painful but the powerful beat feels as if it's beating out of my chest so it is nnan little scary . Any ideas??
Go see your doctor for a gall bladder ultrasound to rule out gall stones, also have them monitor your pulse and do an EKG. If any problems with your heart beat, the EKG will show it but either way, you should see a doctor.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Get a 12 lead EKG to be very sure it is not heart related. I would go against a heart problem as this has happened several times and by now if it was a heat condition, it would have been really bad. In all probability it is uncontrolled acidity with GERD. You will need to take a combination of medications like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief. Possibility of H pylori infection too should be looked into and a combination antibiotic tried.
Life style changes that will help include: Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, smoking, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food. Maybe these tips will help you.
You should consult a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system) or a physician for this if these tips reduce your symptoms.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
