Suggest Remedy For Heart Ailments

I had a cheese burger earlier today at around 4pm. And at 11:30pm i felt like my heart skipped a beat. I cant explain it. But there was NO shortness of breath and i didnt feel dizzy or anything, I have gone to the Hospital and they found nothing. Also when i was young like at around 16 i would drink coca cola alot. I would almost finish a 2 liter in 2 days or less. And i did that for almost 2 years. That eventually landed me in the hospital when i was 17. Due o chest pains. But this pain is different. I kinda been a little scared of it coming back. And when i do eat fatty foods with my coworkers that thought is always in the back of my mind that the pain will come back. Sometimes it even comes back a few hours later after im not thinking about it so i dont think its a psychological thing.
