What Causes Pounding Heartbeat In Neck,head And Chest?

I have been having a pounding heartbeat in my chest neck and head this has been going on several weeks and is intermittent on a daily basis. I went in and had a normal EKG, hemo was normal and so was throid test. The pounding borders between annoying and painful. I have also been dizzy during these episodes. I had an angiogram done 5 years ago after a problem with a stress test and was told it was clear, they did mention that I had an extra vein in my heart which they said they had never seen before. Questions: Could my arteries have clogged up that fast? What other tests should they be doing?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for major heart related diseases because your ecg and blood reports are normal.
So no need to worry for blockage in coronary artery.
In my opinion, you are mostly having stress and anxiety related symptoms.
Both them can cause tachycardia, palpitations and other similar symptoms.. So better to 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.
