Hi guys,
Basically for he last month or two I've been getting heart palpitations and various other different symptoms such as a fast resting heart rate, and even sometimes a slower than normal resting heart rate. When I checked sometimes it can be 60 beats or even less despite the fact I'm overweight and not necessarily in the best of shape.
Recently, I've been under a huge amount of anxiety and stress with literally one thing after another going wrong in life.
It all started with the palpitations, which then reduced in frequency for a while before I started getting them again, mainly at night. I'd also get a lot of indigestion/heartburn as well and a feeling of panic.
Again, after a while this died down before then coming back again. On one occasion I got random sharp pains in my chest which I would also feel in my left arm. I got tingling in my left hand and sometimes a decrease in sensation. This happened regardless of whether I was stressed out or not.
I also get easily tired sometimes and out of breath, however this doesn't always happen, and seems to have come and gone for quite some time now.
The other week I ended up in the hospital for 6 hours having this investigated after the chest pains and dizziness, along with palpitations started again while I was driving. I had an ECG, blood tests and a chest x-ray - all of which came back completely normal and I was told this may be muscular pain and not heart-related.
I've had my heart looked at from all angles including with an ultrasound after seeing a cardiologist several years ago, and all was ok then as well.
If it helps, I'm 23 years of age, male, standing around 5.5 feet tall and I am slightly overweight weighing around 12.5 stones.
I suffer with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and Aspergers Syndrome, and at the moment I'm not on any medications.
At the moment things have been a little better lately, but for some reason I still do get the slower heart rate at rest even though I'm not an athlete etc... It seems to speed up perfectly fine when I start moving, but when I rest is when it seems to be unusually slow. It doesn't cause any symptoms most of the time either.
I'm booked in for a 24-Hour ECG tomorrow to see if they can pick anything up, but in the meantime I do still keep worrying about it and just wanted a bit of advice!
Thanks!
