What Causes Faster Heart Beats And Chest Pain?

Question: I am having faster heart beats(Pulse count 110-120) and chest pain. I feel a pressing kind of feeling in my chest. There is a pricking kind of chest pain and i sometimes feel a pricking kind of pain in my arms also. My echo cardiography reported no abnormalities and my stress test (TMT) was negative. I had also done CT coronary angiography but it was a suboptimal study and was negative. I am feeling a shortness of breath too. I am a smoker and I had been smoking for last 10 years. I am enclosing my CT coronary angiography report. Please help

Hi
I m dr XXXXXXX pleased to answer your health related query
If there is no heart related problems, I would like to check your thyroid related problem or anxiety related problem
I advised you to quit smoking as soon ad possible, because apart from your general health, it may worsen your ankylosing spondylitis.
Your chest pain may be due to anklosing spondylitis or may be a part of anxiety related disease
See your rheumatologist and discuss with him/ her
Hope this will help
