Hi! last night whilst I was sitting watching tv, I got a tiny chest flutter (best way that I can describe it) there was no pain just a flutter. About a minute later I got really sore pain in my left arm, it was on the inside about 2 inches above my elbow! I'm so terrified that it is heart related, I'm freaking out. The whole thing lasted around 15 minutes. This has happened one time before, about 2 months ago. Exact same thing.. I went to the hospital, they did 2 ECGS, a chest x-Ray and blood tests. They tested my blood straight away and then again 6 hour after. They said all was fine and that it ruled out heart issues. I know that I should trust the doctors but I just can't accept this isn't to do with my heart! Has anyone else ever felt this before?

Left arm pain
Hello
I had a very similar thing happen to me last night when I was in bed
The heart flutter & then a dull pain in just a certain part of my arm , but I have had this several times & the flutters can sometimes be indigestion I have found but whatever causes it the thing is you have been checked over had all the tests done & given the all clear
From time to time we will get a pain , a flutter & other things but because we have anxiety we focus in on them rather than just letting them come & go as someone without anxiety would do
Try & put it to one side , I am sure you would have had other problems by now had it been anything sinister x
Hey,
I have similar symptoms with the left arm pain. I constantly worry that I might have a heart attack or something. I went to the hospital many times. They all said it was my anxiety and it was hard to believe that my arm pain came from that know it was a heart attack symptom...
I knew beforehand that I had tendinitis and carpal tunnel. But the pain was not like either of those problems...
Trust me, it's your anxiety. Even though I still have my thoughts, it is.
Only thing different with mine is that it will last to an hour or for days. It was horrible.
i felt the same as you, unable to trust the doctors for 7 months. i went in and out of hospital countless times only to realise my anxiety controlled my life.
it is your emotional brain causing doubt to your reason.
i also had what felt like heart flutters, or what was really skipped heart beats but i had them constantly.. and my arm also hurt, at the same spot you described. yes itdoes cause you to be anxious but anxiety can also cause all kinds of symptoms.
Yes, for 33 years. Sometimes I have had almost constant PVCs/PAC( flutter, skip, bang, jump, hiccup, yada yada yada) Im wearing a month long monitor test now as part of a 5 year check up..... A lot of things can make these worse from anxiety to hormones. Dont let them get you down, if there was a heart issue they would have found it. You have heard of irritable bowel? This is irritable heart. Research, learn. If they havent killed me ( Once they lasted for 6 weeks almost constantly) they wont kill you. Im 56.
