A member asked:
Hello, is normal in stress situation strong chest pain and fast heartbeat? i am since dec 2012 diagnosed with paroxysmal tachycardia.

No: Chest pain is never "normal, " and you have a diagnosis to explain fast heartbeat (pat). Should avoid caffeine / other stimulants / stressors as able. Should talk to your dr or cardiologist about suppressive/controller medication if having frequent symptoms and discomfort.
