Question
Hello doctor,
Recently, I often have heart palpitations, pain in the center of the chest, and a little difficulty breathing. A few days ago, my heart skipped 2 or 3 beats or something. The doctor asked me if my heart was beating fast with pain in the middle of my chest? Since I was young, my health was not good, so I ran fast or worked too hard, my heart was beating fast and it was difficult to breathe. Thank you doctor.

Answered by Specialist Doctor II Nguyen Quoc Viet - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is the heart palpitations with pain in the middle of the chest okay? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The average heart rate of an adult is 60 -100 times / minute, and always changes according to the mental state as well as the pathology of the body. In some cases, the heart rate may be fast such as: When emotions are strong, physical activity is strong, or some diseases such as hyperthyroidism, adrenal myeloma, cases of tachycardia...
Cases Yours mentioned tachycardia but didn't specifically say how many beats per minute. In addition, you have symptoms of a heart "missing 2.3 beats", chest tightness and a little shortness of breath, so you may have "extrasystole" or other heart rhythm disorder.
Therefore, you need to visit a cardiologist to find the cause and treat it. At Vinmec Hospital, there is currently a cardiovascular screening package, with a team of experienced and highly qualified doctors and a system of modern equipment that can well meet the needs of patients for examination and treatment. .
If you still have questions about heart palpitations with chest tightness, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
