What Can Cause Chest And Neck Pain?

I have been having left chest and neck pains for months. I've been to the ER a few times now. Last time I noticed the monitor said "irregular HR" but the doctor never mentioned it. sometimes it feels like my heart is fluttering in my chest. What should I do?

Hello, If you are very sure that it's irregular and your doctor missed it than to confirm if symptoms are occurring everyday, get a 24 hour holter monitoring done. Many a times the monitor may over diagnose and your doctor wouldn't have mentioned because he would know it's a mistaken interpretation by the machine .
Lastly don't get anxious, as anxiety itself will increase the probability of you having racing of heart as it will push in adrenaline in the blood stream which may increase the palipation or in may precipitate an event.
Hoping I could help.
