For about the past 4-5 years, I have experienced weird "chest pains." It feels like my heart is
beating harder than normal (not faster). It isn't a pain as much as what I call a weird feeling.
It lasts for about 2 weeks at a time usually (sometimes longer and sometimes only a few days) and
happens every 3 or 4 months on a non-consistent basis. Every once in a while it is accompanied
with a flutter or a skip of my heart beat (once or twice during the 2 week occurrence). In the
last year or so, I feel like I have to induce a burp to relieve pressure in my stomach/chest. I
don't know if it is related to the weird pains in my chest. Sometimes I think that this could all
just be stress related, but my grandfather and father have had heart problems before, so I don't
know. Any advice?

See a Dr. It could be stress related etc. Even in that case the Dr. may be able to help. Or if it is
something else, they might be able to help with that too.

Would suggest you get an appointment to see a board-certified cardiologist.
