Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
Premature beat could be possible due to anxiety. In that case, there is nothing to worry. If all investigations are normal, then chances of anxiety induced chest pain is more. Psychological pain depends upon the thoughts. More you would think about such pain, more you would feel. Just relax and take anxiolytic like alprazolam on sos basis. You can also do some relaxation exercise that would keep you calm.
In case, you need further help, you can ask.
