What Causes Intermittent Chest Tightness While Having Sinus Tachycardia?
My wife has inappopiate sinus tachycardia, and a family history of heart problems. For the past 2 days she has been having tightness in her chest. It was coming and going, but has been constant for about the past 3 hours and has been accompanied by a tingling in her left arm. She is only 26 and in good health besides the stated heart condition above and a thyroid problem. Based on these symptoms we are planning to go to the ER, but we were wondering if this could be something stress related and an ultimately an unnecessary ER trip.

Hello,
Some of the heart disorder can be very serious and fetal so better to go to the emergency room and get her checked up properly.
You should also get an Echocardiography and a Holter Monitoring for a minimum of 48 hours done to exclude the risk of fetal arrhythmic disorder or structural disorder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
