Heart stuff

Consult another (or 2 more) cardiologist for a different opinion.

it could be psychological if you have had panic attacks in the past

i had my first panic attack about a month ago.. had no clue what was going on, thought itwas a heart attack and actually went to the ER (weird i know). getting back into my cardio routine on the treadmill, i felt i was having a panic attack at times

just know that the feeling of lightheadedness is largely psychological if you've ruled out the possibility of it being physical

It's not weird to go rush to the emergency room if you thought it was something as serious as a heart attack.

Really anxious guy here
Sometimes I get a fluttering feeling in my chest, like my heart is simultaneously getting lighter and sinking down. Happens rarely.
Cardiologist says everything is fine, but could this be one of the things they can't detect through an ECG?

Kek, not an option. I live in burgerland so anything related to healthcare costs a retarded amount of money. The first guy has me too deep in the hole to even think of getting a flu shot much less go to another cardiologist. I have some cousins who are doctors look at my ekgs and test results and they said I have nothing to worry about, so I don't think it is any major heart condition.

Thanks man. Don't feel bad about going to the ER cause of a panic attack, I a few people who have done the same thing, Even my therapist did it. It feels so foreign that it is probably a good thing you went to the ER just in case it wasn't a panic attack. It is interesting you felt like you were having a panic attack on the treadmill, maybe I could be going through similar stuff.

acid reflux can cause those feelings too

I also recently had a checkup with a cardiologist due to irregular rhythm as well.. Sometimes it goes really slow and heavy, then when I breathe in it goes fast as fuck..

also I've started getting 1-2 PVCs every day, those are basically extra heart beats that feel like a hard thump(sometimes painful) in the middle of your chest. Really fucking uncomfortable.

Cardio did a 24hr ECG, stress test and echo, said everything was fine..

It doesn't always show up on the ECG unless you're having an attack there and then. You've just got to keep going in having an ECG until it shows up.

That's potentially normal.

I actually had this same thing happen to me last week. On top of psyching myself during running, I was already on caffeine (not any dose I wasn't used to, have 2-3 grande cups a day) and not going too quickly, either. My family has a history of arrhythmia- I'd say it's worth looking into if you do too. Could be a defiency of certain minerals too

Alright, OP here, and after reading this article: http://www.fitnesssolutionsplus.ca/blog/exercise-induced-panic-attacks/ I am pretty sure it is an exercise induced panic attack, especially because the cardiologist said everything looked fine and I have a history of panic attacks. I'm just gonna go with this and if I die or something because I'm wrong, my last wish is that burgerland's healthcare gets at least a little fucking cheaper.
