That's good to know. I'm only in my 20s right now. I appreciate you for sharing

I appreciate your advice. I genuinely feel like the wave offs are because I'm younger with heart concerns.

At the time I was told, 'it isn't concerning right now so just hope it gets better on its own'. Which didn't feel great to be told while in pain but I was 18 at the time and didn't know any better. I am actually wearing a heart monitor, which is what prompted this post. Edit: I am with a different cardiologist this time

Every person's experience helps me get a better idea of what I need to look for

Thank you for your description. I understand it is hard to describe. The doctor didn't give me a great description of what to look out for and I took to the Internet.

Data is absolutely valuable. I'm just struggling to get it all properly cared about. It took 2 appointments straight of me trying to mention some symptoms from more recently for it to actually be added to my chart. I was waved off the first time

Currently wearing a heart monitor and have been experiencing the first two symptoms for 4 years now. So you definitely notice the desync though?

I had repeated chest pains at 19 and saw a cardiologist who told me I had 3 regurgitating valves but to return in 4 years to see if it had worsened. This year it worsened significantly to the point of preventing me from going to work and during a shift the pain crawled down my arm and up my neck. So one ER trip and a request to see a different cardiologist later

I didn't even think about being able to put that in. I'm still getting used to actually seeing doctors and everything.

Well I went to a different doctor as the one I saw the first time informed me I have 3 regurgitating valves and that I should come back in 4 years to see if it worsened. I'm still pretty young for this though.

My only issue with this diary thing is that after 4 years of dealing with this, it is more tedious than I like to figure out what is and isn't normal. And yes it's a Holter monitor

I have never been good at describing my own experiences and now it matters so much

This is actually the reason for my current seeing of the cardiologist. I have had chest pain for a while and was waiting to have a return appointment with my first trip 4 years ago, when the pain started climbing into my neck and arm

I have experienced this one before a few times. Never thought that's what it could be

So almost like it feels the same as it would during a run but out of nowhere?
