Maybe normal: Sounds like you are experiencing what is called palpitations, an anti anxiety drug may be helpful. EKG and possibly what is called a Holter monitor would be helpful to exclude various abnormal heart rhythms as the cause, in which case a beta blocker drug might be prescribed. Probably normal at your age.

Hi there... Hope that you're well. I have this chest pain that's been going on for three days. At first I thought it was an anxiety attack but it's above my heart, carrying through to my neck and back. Should I see a cardiologist?
