Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Considering the age and normal ECG findings, the symptoms that you describe is unlikely to be cardiac problem.

One possibility since your heart rate was 170 you might be having an arrhythmia. But sometimes the high heart rate can occur secondary to pain.

I suggest you get a TMT and a 24hr holter monitoring done to find a possible cause for the fast heart rate.

Hope this answer is adequate and informative. Should you have any more concerns, I will be available for follow ups.

Regards
