I guess I first noticed chest pain when I was 23 and at an amusement park. We had been walking all day and I noticed a sharp stabbing pain in the middle of my chest while we were walking that went away.
Probably a year later I experienced my first "heart flutter" -- it knocked the wind out of me and I felt like my heart stopped for a second. Many more followed after that over the years but it's always infrequent.
I went through a really rough break-up last year and my anxiety/depression really kicked in. I started getting them a lot to the point where I went to my family doctor because I was seriously afraid for my health. He put me on anti-anxiety meds and it all went away. It's the only reason I kinda believe it's not heart related.
I've recently come off all drugs and the chest pain, occasional heart flutters, etc. are back. But all my doctors tell me it's "just stress". My aunt has a heart murmur, my grandmother had 2 heart attacks and my father had a minor one..
