Guest guest Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Chest pain and dizziness need to be addressed. I am shocked your GP did not recommend you to a cardiac specialist to at least perform a stress test. This would be a test under monitoring to attempt to elicit your symptoms. Do you have a high caffiene intack? If so, I would start tapering down as they can elicit all your symptoms by throwing you into PVCs. At the least a cardiac specialist may place you on a Holter monitor which would record your heart rate and rhythm over 24 hours. I used to be a cardiac RN in a unit. I can't tell you how many times young folks like yourself had told their physician of symptoms that were poo pooed because they were too young. A second item that needs to be checked otu is your thyroid as it could be dumping hormones irratically into your system. A t3 t4 and uptake tests may be in order as well. Not trying to suggest you have a thyroid issue, however, again thyroid is oftern over looked and can affect heart rate. Dale Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
