I'm having these weird palpitations and short jerks in my chest lasting just a couple of seconds, but it's not like they happen at any specific time. It really feels awkward when it happens, almost like my heart stops for a moment. What's strange is that even though I exercise regularly, I don't feel any pain in my chest. I've done ECG, 2D Echo, and Holter tests, and they all came back normal. So, Im really wondering, do you think I might have some sort of cardiac blockage? Are these episodes a sign of something serious like a cardiac arrest in the future? Or if it's not something major with my heart, what else could be causing these jerks and palpitations?

I'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel discomfort in the middle or middle-left part of my chest whenever I'm stressed or overly worried about something, like my mother's sickness. It usually lasts for an hour or two and then goes away on its own. I'm a bit concerned about whether this could be a sign of a serious heart problem. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and how it could be treated?

no its because of stress , reduce it

I've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but pops up every 10 to 15 days and only lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds. It's starting to make me a bit nervous, and I was wondering if there are any tests you think I should get done?

It is important to investigate the cause of your chest pain. I recommend you to undergo an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, and an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to rule out any structural issues. Additionally, a blood test to check for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile may also be beneficial in assessing your heart health.
