<human>: What is it when a heart stings after having palpitations? Am I trying to have a heart attack? I m overweight 5 3 about 166lbs. Bi-polar Disorder, acid reflux are all my problems. But the palpitations were different and certainly the stinging sensation.
<bot>: Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms are not typical of coronary artery disease or a heart attack.Gastroesophageal reflux or avmusculo- skeletal pain could be the cause of your symptoms. Anxiety can also trigger palpitations. Anyway, if the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:- a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study-Complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for imbalance. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards, Chat Doctor.
