I've had many tests and know this isn't heart related.  Are there any home remedies?

Have you tried changing your diet? I know certain foods tend to trigger stomach acid more than others. You may want to try a blander diet, or speaking with a nutritionist to see what you can do.

Um, you better get to a doctor ASAP. It sounds like a heart attack, or heart murmur. And don't laugh it off, even if you think you're too young. I had a co-worker who had a terrible heart attack at age 19. It happened at work, she was complaining about something similar to yours. A few hours later, she stood up to leave, and just passed out. We had to call the ambulance. She survived, but had to quit working.

Sounds more like a pinched nerve if the ER is saying nothing is wrong.  However, since the ER could not do a stress test or an MRI it is tough to be sure that it is not your heart.

Definitely see your doctor.  Tightness in the chest is not something to mess with!

How's your blood pressure? Have you been able to keep fluids down? This is too complicated without running some tests. You may want to go see your doctor or go to the ER.

I dealt with a similar thing in college.  My heart irregularly papitated and it really disturbed me.  It would race up for no reason.  \n\nThings I did to reverse the problem:\n\n-Reduced my caffeine intake (caffeine has the potential to make your heart race)\n-I had an EKG study on my heart...it was normal\n-I got plenty of sleep at night\n-Realizing that the majority of my irregular heartbeats were contributed from Anxiety. \n-I began to pray for wisdom with this problem.\n\nAs for feeling your heartbeat after you eat, you will.  When you eat, your body has a lot of gas exchange during the whole digestive process.  The same gas that will make you belch or fart "pass gas" after a meal.  I noticed a lot of pressure in my heart area and discovered that the problem wasn't my heart, it was gas.  I suggest taking a TUMs or some kind of anti-acid to help reduce the gas, which should reduce the pressure around your heart after meals.  Lots of soft drinks, carbohydrates, junk food will bring on gas.  Try to stay away from those foods....I know, that's a hard thing to do if you're in college.  Junk food was everywhere when I was in college.  \n\nAbove all, if you have health insurance, use it.  Go see your doctor and ask him what's best.  He'll be able to tell you what anti-acid medicine you should take.  \n\nDo you have a lot of acid reflux?  \n\nI hope my advice helps ease things a little better.  \n\nGood luck and remember...I'm not an expert.  What I say is just a suggestion from past experiences.  If you're that worried about the heart beats, go see a doctor.

Hi Jen\n\nHere are some ideas on how to heal your condition.\n\nQuick Action Plan for Preventing and Treating Heart Disease\n\n1. Since up to 50 percent of heart disease cases can strike without any warning symptoms, it’s important to regularly be screened for signs of heart disease. In addition to conventional heart disease signals, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol and triglyceride levels, have your health care provider also screen you for markers such as C-reactive protein, homocysteine, fibrinogen, lipoprotein(a), glucose, insulin, and iron.\n\n2. Also be sure to be screened for vulnerable plaque, which is the primary cause of 85 percent of all cases of heart disease. Effective screening tools for vulnerable plaque include ultra-high-speed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and darkfield microscropy.\n\n3. You should also be screened for infectious agents such as Chlamydia, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and the herpes family of retroviruses\n\n4. Oxidized cholesterol, rather than elevated cholesterol levels by themselves, is another primary factor in most cases of heart disease, and therefore should also be screened for.\n\n5. A healthy diet is essential for a healthy heart. Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and organic, free-range poultry and wild-caught, cold water fish, such as halibut, mackerel, orange roughy, and salmon (avoid farm raised salmon). Beans and legumes are also advisable due to their high fiber content. Throughout the day, drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid drinking—as well as bathing, and showering in—unfiltered tap water, because tap water contains heavy metals and pesticide residues that can contribute to and worsen heart disease. Also be sure to regularly use healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and fish oils for the essential fatty acids they contain.\n\n6. Useful nutritional supplements for protecting your heart include beta carotene; vitamins B3 (niacin), B6, B12, C, and E; folic acid; the minerals calcium, chromium, magnesium, potassium, and selenium; the amino acids L-arginine, L-lysine, L-proline, and L-carnitine; coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10); and proanthrocyanidin (PCA).\n\n7. Useful herbs include foxglove, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginger, hawthorn berry, linden flower, and motherwort.\n\n8. Be sure to engage in a regular exercise program that combines aerobic exercise and strength training. For best result, devote 30 minutes three times per week to aerobic exercise, and 45 minutes twice a week for strength training.\n\n9. Learn how to properly manage stress. Useful stress reduction techniques include biofeedback training, meditation, and yoga.\n\n10. If you smoke, stop immediately. Also avoid all exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke, and minimize your exposure to environmental pollutants. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Hi There, I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose, I can suggest a few things though.  Has your doctor ran blood tests to rule out thyroid, anemia, infections, etc?  How has your blood pressure been?  Do you take any medicines? There are so many things that can cause those symptoms, so I'd say rule out anything they can with blood work, watch your blood pressure, get a chest and sinus xray, and get your ears checked out, heart tests, and if none of that shows anything, maybe allergy tests.  If all those are negative, it could be stress, or something like fibromyalgia.  They really need to do more of a evaluation on you.  Have you been exposed to anything last October maybe at school?  paint fumes? any building remodeling?

Could be too much salt in your diet but I suggest you see a doctor the next time this happens.

sounds like heartburn or acid reflux, go to the supermarket or CVS and pick up some over the counter stuff

Go see a doctor for the best answer, but it sounds more like a pinched nerve.\n\nIf you have a history of heart disease, you need to take care to exercise regulalry (get your back looked at too) eat a healthy diet full of nutrients and fiber, and keep your weight in a healthy range. it's also best to not smoke, keep the alcohol at moderate levels and kick any caffeine out of your routine.

There are a few drugs on the market I have heard about, but it sounds like you have a really serious medical problem.  Find a doctor who will run tests and find the cause.  Don't take no for an answer.

Hmm.. have you had a check up at the doctor since you started training? You may want to have your blood pressure checked and talk to the doctor about your problems. I'm not a doctor, but they sound heart or blood related.

Hi, I've had PVCs for many years and they come and go.  At first, I was scared to death and thought that something was seriously wrong with my heart.  After visiting the cardiologist and having a bunch of tests, I learned that my PVCs are totally harmless and most likely the result of stress.  I'm not a doctor, but I've had PVCs off and on for over 10 years and I can tell you that in the absence of other symptoms they're considered totally harmless.  Mine tend to come at night, right around bedtime, if at all.  Like you, I take vitamins (including all the ones you mentioned).  I would suggest you try taking some Magnesium, that seems to have helped me a great deal.  The other thing that helps is exercise -- cardio, and lots of it.  Oh, and by the way -- everyone gets skipped heartbeats, but not everyone notices them.  I think you can relax about your PVCs.  Mention them to your doctor at your next regular checkup, or if they return and suddenly get worse then by all means make that appointment sooner rather than later.  However, your PVCs are most likely just a nuisance.

no, this is too low of a stimulus or intake if it was to be a cause, you could talk to the doctor for possible causes of the exact heart beat problem, good luck

if i knew what EF meant it would help. if you're still worried about your heart, ask about a myoview or cardiolite test.
