Chest pain or discomfort in 24 y/o, severely obese female with extra or skipped beats and tightness. heart failure possibility? er visit always normal

You probably have: pulmonary hypertension from Pickwickian syndrome (obesity hypoventilation syndrome) which would result in chest discomfort and ventricular irritability (skipped beats.) You need to seek professional help for assisted weight loss or you will severely compromise your life expectancy. Good luck!
