Pains near the heart and palpitations anything to worry about? or is it anxiety.

Most likely benign: Palpitations are the subjective sensation of the beating of your heart. Rarely, an irregular heart beat may cause this. In most cases, these are benign. Chest pains may also occur - not related to exertion or other symptoms. Try eliminating caffeine from your diet to see if this has an effect. Also, see your doctor to determine if you need further testing.

Heart palpitations (pvcs and pacs on 24-hour monitor). On ritalin (methylphenidate) (40mg). Doctors say it's anxiety. Should i worry about sudden death or heart attack?
