What Causes Heart Palpitations And Chest Pain?
Hi! I have been having heart palpitations for a few months, along with chest pain, but the dr and emergency room dr say it is just due to a pulled chest muscle. the pain is not so prominent lately, but I sat for 4 hours to get tattooed today and am now experiencing more palpitations and pain than usual. I am not quite freaking out yet.. is it just because I stressed my body out today?

Hi thanks for asking question.
Ya according to history given it may be simple musculoskeletal pain.
Try to avoid heavy muscle workout.
Take simple analgesic for getting pain relief.
If still no relief then ECG and chest x ray advised.
Avoid stress and smoking.
Don't worry.
