Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Rapid Heart Rate
3-1/2 yrs ago I went to a heart specialist because of the feeling that my heart is pumping in my throat. A blood test, echocardiogram, EKG were done and I had to wear a Holter for 24 hrs. The tests showed that there was nothing wrong with my heart.
I am a 63 yr old woman. I still have that feeling and and it gets worse when lying down to sleep. If I lie on either side, it feels like my heart is too big for the space that it is in and when I lie on my back, it feels like I want to throw up. It also feels like there is pain the the upper chest bone.
I started menopause when I was 51 yrs old. I had a histerectomy when I was 30 yrs old and the OBGYN put me on Premarin 0.03 gm. I am still taking Premarin once a day.
Could you perhaps help me?
Thanks so much

Dear yolanda i would advise you to have your EKG done once again in order to know the current status of your heart as 3years is a long time to have a check on heart so you should have it done first then we will advise you the next step and possible causes
