Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are reporting seems like extra cardiac beats which is felt as a chest or arm pulsing.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations (appart from ecg you have already done):
- Blood work including thyroid hormones
- Cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring
Hope this will be of help!
