Hello, I am a 41 year old , 150 lbs. in general good health. I teach a fitness class 3 days a week with no problems. In the last couple of days, I have had flutters in my heart beat and now neck pain down the left side in the back, feels like a pinched nerve I don t know they are related. I have had palpitations in the past but it has been quite some time especially since I have been in to fitness. It makes me feel weird and tired and almost afraid to exercise. I feel dumb asking.......
Hilooking at your history you are having palpitations. Palpitations are feelings or sensations that your heart is pounding or racing in which you may have an unpleasant awareness of your own heartbeat. Feel like your heart skipped or stopped beats, palpitations can be associate with chest heaviness plan dizziness and fatigue.  A thorough investigation is very important would suggest you to go for ECG24 hour HOLDER monitoring (record the episode of palpitation, and we can analyze whether it is arrhythmia or sinus tachycardia)get them done as soon as possible as we have to find out the cause of palpitations A 2d ECHO should also be done to see the cardiac functions and motion of the wall of heart as chest pain can be angina also, which is due to decreased blood supply take my advice seriously and get these tests done thank you
