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 experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest and in my left arm. Its not really intense but it does come and go. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to angina or heart-related issues. It is important to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg to help with chest pain. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can also be used for chest pain relief. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.4 mg placed under the tongue for quick effect. Remember, these are temporary measures and it is crucial to see a healthcare professional for further assessment.
