Getting a second opinion is never a bad idea. That being said, people have mentioned a-fib and a-flutter. These are fairly obvious rhythms, and it would be very unusual for a doc to miss them. Again though, it can never hurt to get a second opinion. If you're in doubt of what your doctor is telling you, then go see another doctor.

A normal pulse rate for a healthy adult, while resting, can range from 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM) but in atrial fibrillation/flutter the heart rate may be 100 to 175. Blood pressure may be normal or low. An arrhythmia is any disorder of your heart rate or heart rhythm, such as beating too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly.
Consult a cardiologist.
Please see the web pages for more details on Atrial flutter/ fibrillation and Arrhythmias.

You should take Fish Oil pills, which have Omega-3. This is great because it promotes heart health and circulation throughout the body. I recommend it and I just took one a half an hour ago! You can find them in the health sections of Walmart or other retail stores.

You could be having some arrhythemias or it could also be anxiety neurosis. So it is better to see a cardiologist.

Without a doubt you should get a second opinion.
Preferably from a cardiac specialist.
