I just came home from the hospital due to chest pain so the Doctors did all the tests for my heart whicChatDoctore out negative which is good, however; I have noticed that when I m sleeping my heart will race which wakes me up and then I feel pressure in my chest. Can they run all these tests that come out negative and I still have a problem because I feel the same chest pressure before I went in. they gave me nitroglycerin and beta bloskers so of course my heart was ok in the hospital?
Hello, Heart palpitations are indicative of Arrhythmia, arrhythmia may lead to either fast or too slow heartbeats. If left untreated it may complicate to Atrial fibrillation, Flutter or Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT).  The cause is commonly hyperthyroidism, diabetes, mental stress, smoking, excess alcohol intake, etc. Pressure in the chest or squeezing crushing pain is the symptom of angina, caused due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. Avoid tobacco use, maintain blood cholesterol, blood sugar to the normal levels. Stop smoking, maintain a healthy diet, avoid addictions if any, alcohol & stay away from stress. Get all lipid function tests, stress test, Holder test, ECG, Echo done. Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected.  You may get treated with medications, cardioversion, ablation therapy or coronary bypass surgery. Get treated at the earliest to avoid acceleration of your symptoms.  Hope I have answered your query.
