What Causes Chest Pain, Chest Pressure And Faster Heart Beat?

My 22 year old daughter (5'4", 122 lbs) has been having chest pain throughout the evening, chest pressure, flushed feeling, and slight discomfort between her shoulder blades and like her heart is beating really hard. She wants to go to bed but I am not so sure it is a good idea.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Faster heart beats, chest pain, chest pressure etc in young patient should be evaluated for heart diseases like arrhythmia and valvular heart diseases (VHD).. So better to take her to hospital and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So tell her to avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, she will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
