Doctors don't know why i get chest pain?

For the past few years I have been getting chest pain everyday. I get more of it and with palpitations after emotional stress or physical exertion. I've had 2 echocardiograms done and each one showed that I have no problems with the inner structure of my heart. It did show that I have some holes on the outer surface of the heart, but the doctor said that it shouldn't be a problem. He said that it is a very very rare condition in which one half of my heart is like spongy and the other is normal. But, he said it shouldn't cause me any pain, and won't affect my life. I'm in China, and the doctor didn't know the English name of my condition. Does anyone know the English name of what my heart is? But, I still get chest pain, weakness, and palpitations daily. Why? My dad has had atrial fibrillation and when he was a teenage he had similar symptoms to mine. Could my chest pain be a precursor to A-Fib or something else...or does my spongy heart condition actually cause the pain?

not enough blood flow at times causes chest pain

The autonomic nervous system controls the heart rate. Special cells send electrical impulses (nerve signals) through the heart, causing it to contract and relax rhythmically. The impulse begins in a small bundle of muscle fibers called the sinoatrial node

Hi, i also have chest pain and the palpatations, and more pain when i get stressed. I am only 27 and have been to a specialist and all they have found is a hole in my heart ASD, and mitral valve prolapse, but they tell me that this should not be causeing my pain. So i understand how you feel!! Report It

once the cardiologists have ruled out the worst nothing for u to worry at all.u need to strengthen ur heart mucles.Take homeopathy GOLD DROPS for six months and then go for a test.Even if ur father had it u need not take it as a gift.there are many things in u which ur dad did not have.U r unique creature of god though ur dad is the medium through which u came to earth.Forget it and keep looking ahead for the bright future in store for u..

You are suffering from panic attacks....trust me, I am a mental health worker who sees a lot of this....and my dad suffered them for years, I told him what he had and his doctors have confirmed it. There are many medicines for it, don't hesitate to go to a psychiatrist for them though....medical internists aren't as good at finding the right dosage to stop the pain without overmedicating you. Good luck. (My dad wasted 10 years before taking my advice and is glad he finally listened.)
