Fleeting chest pains! really worrying me!

[worrywart22]

The last day or so I have been getting fleeting chest pain on the left side of my chest. The only way i can describe it is as a lighting bolt shock. very quick and fleeting. i have no other symptoms. Ive read that fleeting pain that you can pinpoint is rarely heart related but im still stressed out and scared!!

I have had 3 ekgs before and none showed an irregular heartbeat?

Were they 24hr or other beer ECG's? Sometimes the irregular beat comes and goes and can't always be seen on a standard ECG that gives a 20 second printout. I dont mean to worry you, and the odds are islets nothing sinister, however; get it checked by your doctor.

Usually heart pain is lasting, it radiates to the jaw and arm and has a crushing type of pain. It doesn't really go with what you're saying.
