heart fluttering

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I was wondering what you wonderful nurses would do, I am having irregular heart rate with a flutter and chest pain, as well as shortness of breath. This has happened on and off for about 2 weeks now. Last week I went to my local ER they took an EKG and sent me on my merry way at the time I was having numbness in my hands. I don't have numbness now, but this still hurts pretty bad. I've been throwing up in my sleep lately too. In all honesty am I being a hyperchondriac?! Or should I go to a bigger hospital tonight?
