View allI'm feeling really uneasy because for the past 4 months I've been having these weird jerks and palpitations in my chest that last just a couple of seconds. They come and go without any warning. It's like my heart just stops for a moment, and it's really awkward when it happens, although there's no chest pain. I exercise regularly and all my tests like ECG, 2D ECHO, HOLTER ECG, BP, FBS, and Thyroid profile came back normal. But these feelings haven't stopped and I'm scared. Could these jerks be signs of something serious like a cardiac arrest or any other heart issues? What's causing them and the palpitations? I've even felt some pain around the right side of my chest and I'm worried does this relate to cardiac problems, or is it only the left side that's dangerous?
Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..

I'm worried about my husband because his heart pulse rate seems pretty lowaround 53and his blood pressure is about 115 over 72. It's been like this for the past 10 to 15 years. He doesn't show any symptoms and can do physical activities without issues. Is this low blood pressure and low heart pulse rate normal, or should we be concerned? What could be causing this, and what steps should we take?
A low heart pulse rate (bradycardia) and low blood pressure can sometimes be normal for some individuals, especially if they are asymptomatic and have no underlying health conditions. However, it is important to monitor these values regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation. If there are no symptoms or issues with daily activities, treatment may not be necessary. If there are concerns about the low heart pulse rate and blood pressure, further investigations may be needed to determine the underlying cause. It is recommended to consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include tests such as an ECG, Holter monitor, or echocardiogram. Treatment, if necessary, will depend on the underlying cause identified during the evaluation.

I've been feeling kind of uncomfortable in my chest, mostly at night, and sometimes the pain stretches out to my left arm. On top of that, I've been dealing with this left side neck pain and a bit of an ache in my upper back. Do you think I should be worried about this or is it something that might go away on its own? What could it be?
The symptoms you are describing could be indicative of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for potential heart-related chest pain. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption. Remember to call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.
