Palpitations In Legs, Chest, Stomach, Chest Pains, Had Surgery Done For Collapsed Lungs. Heart Related?

Hi, I ve been having flutter like palpitations in my legs and throughout my body for years, but it s been worse this year than ever before. I m constantly tired and fatigued and get palpitations in my chest and stomach also. I always feel like I m run down and also get flu like fogginess in head without actually getting sick. I m going to a Nuerologist next week. I m having chest pains on and off along with other pain throughout my torso. It comes and goes in flares like every few weeks. I had two spontaneous collapsed lungs late last year and eventually had surgery done. I worry that it is possibly heart related or maybe I have marphans(not sure of spelling) or something.

I think u should see a neurologist because your symptoms of flutter here and there for last so many years seems to be of some neurological origin. It is not easy to rule out heart disease directly but i feel that it is last on the cards.
Chest pains that u have right now could be just because of anxiety.
Marfans disease is seen in patients with who have long slender body and the arm span from side to side is more than their height. I agree that pneumothorax is sen in such patients
