Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) in your case because your symptoms like fast heart beating, flushing of body, pounding sensations, chest tightness etc. are commonly seen with arrhythmia. So consult cardiologist and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo 3. Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright bit first rule out arrhythmia. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
