Atrial Tachycardia need some advice

I have atrial tachycardia. I need some relief from the constant banging/throbbing sensation in my chest. This happens all day whether I am sitting or lying down and despite my pulse rate being normal which I dont get. All tests on heart came back normal. I have tried Calcium Channel Blockers but they don't work. Waiting on another NHS Consultant appointment to see what is next if anything.

I have similar sensations. On waking especially. No idea what causing it. Apart from 'anxiety' - catch all phrase which I'm addressing in a variety of ways. Betablocker hasn't been that successful though it takes the edge off it. But the side effects make it not worth while in my case.
