you did the right thing. you saw a heart doctor. unfortunately it appears that the heart doctor did not reassure you that everything is fine so you may need to get a second opinion from another cardiologist that is a bit more reassuring. your heart can be monitored several different ways like wearing a device that records your heart for 24 hours (holter monitor). assuming your heart was fine on a treadmill test you may be just experiencing palpitations -- a feeling that your heart is racing but it is not. or your heart is actually racing at times. this is why your doctor should consider taking your evaluation to a higher level. if you pass all of these tests then you may be less frightened when you have palpitations.
my heart races for no reason & it scares me to death! what do i do when this happens? . a heart doc said to 'walk it off' but this sure doesn't seem reasonable! please advise asap.
