Kim,
I have been experiencing heart palpitations for almost a year along with
pain and a tight feeling in my chest. I actually went to the ER one day
thinking something was really wrong. I've had all the tests done as
well and everyone says my ticker is fine. I've wondered if it is the
pill I'm on, stress, something...I don't know. I hope your surgery
leads to some successful treatment for your other symptoms.
Good luck,
Alyson
