Chest sensations: An innocent arrhythmia can also give you weird chest sensations. You may want to repeat your ekg if you are uncomfortable.

It could well be: Anxiety causes many types of physical sensations, and many people fear that these mean heart disease. So it's a good idea to check that out with your physician. However, you're 24 and had a normal ekg. What did your doctor say to you about this? Hoping s/he spoke with you about how the mind and body are interwoven, sometimes inflaming worry -- and how working with a psychotherapist can help!
