Heart Attack

There are nerves that innervate the chest that let a person know if there is something wrong with their body. But sometimes the pain may not be specific enough for a patient to tell exactly what is wrong. Chest pain is a serious problem for many Americans and should be addressed with a serious assessment. Here we list off the possible causes of your chest pain.

Arrhythmias

Arrythmia's are another cause of chest pain and palpitations that can be a terrifying experience.
An arrhythmia is a problem with the way your heart beats. Your heart can beat too fast, or too slow. It can skip beats or completely fail altogether. There are many types of arrhythmia's of the heart so they can be a difficult diagnosis to find. Arrhythmia's are the result of the electrical circuitry in the heart malfunctioning.  The heat is supposed to be in a fashion that can deliver blood to your organs and muscle tissue. If this system is disrupted then there can be dire consequences. Typically a patient will feel their heart jumping around in their chest in a fashion that is not regular.  Arrhythmia's can cause people to pass out, to have shortness of breath, chest pain and symptoms of heart failure.
