I have been admitted in the hospital twice this month because of chest pain and palputations it can be scarey but so far all heart test ekg and echo cardiogram shows normal my vitals are always normal so far.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for heart diseases as your heart reports are normal.
Yes, hyperthyroidism can cause similar symptoms if it is uncontrolled.
So first of all get done Thyroid function test.
If this is normal then hyperthyroidism is not a cause. Sometimes stress and anxiety can be the cause for your symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
