here's a longer preview of my question with details: hi i'm a 20 year old with a very strange pulse and sometimes very very light chest pain near my armpit/breast area. my bmi is 38 (currently working on lowering) i exercise at least 4 times a week; about an 1 hour of 4-5 miles. note that i've been doing this type of regular exercise since i was 11 and some days would exercise with my partner for nearly 2 hours almost 2 times a month. i've been working on eating correctly as well (oats fruit no processed foods/sugars). i've recently quit caffeine and diet sodas replacing them with 4 or more glasses of water. my blood pressure is 134/81. usually my resting heart rate ranges from 74-80 bpm. my problem is during 2 weeks i've been experiencing high pulse rates from (94-104) and on some days a single heart flutter. sometimes during sleeping i wake with strange high pulses. a few days ago i've awaken from a deep dreaming sleep having two heart flutters and freaked out. near the end of the day i get these weird stingy/squeezy chest pains that occur near my left breast very close to the armpit. sometimes i get the same pain at the same spot in my right chest but it's much lighter than the left. my leg elbows of my arms and stomach would also have very mild/light pains that pulsate but disappear after a while. this happens when i'm resting but not when i exercise. they last from 2-20 seconds and disappear or reoccur slightly when in bed. the day before this past halloween i visited a doctor at a clinic and she basically laughed at me saying i was too paranoid and having anxiety. she checked my heart beat and breathing through a stethoscope but no more after that. she said i was too young to be having heart problems. i'm afraid of going back due to spending way too much money just to hear the same reply. this is starting to scare me and i'm very hesitant to return to my regular exercise and weight training since this has been happening. i don't think i have diabetes since i don't get the symptoms (and i'm like a hawk keeping an eye on any similar rising symptoms if i get them). should i continue with my daily activities? how about suggested foods to eat in a single day for healthy heart function? again i don't eat a lot of sugars. thank you.
