 Help
My name is Patrick, and I went to the hospital with atrial fibulation at age 18. I am now 19 yet chest pain has existed on and off since they did an electric cardioversion. The chest pain seems to be almost bi-weekly in that the pain persists for 2 weeks or so, then there is no chest pain for another 2 weeks.
The pain is somewhat central in the chest and it seems to climb up into the area of my neck where you would check your pulse.
I've gone to the hospital twice, once for atrial fibulation and once for chest pain, but they concluded nothing as to why this happened on both visits. On my second visit they gave me a GI Coctail, if I remember correctly, did a chest x-ray, and checked for specific enzymes that my heart would release if it was damaged, yet came up with nothing.
The pain usually occurs near the end of the day, but it has started in mid-afternoon on occasion. Weight lifting does not seem to affect the pain much, if any, so I continue doing that 3 days a week. I drink coffee once a day, maybe. I would say, in total, 4 to 5 cups of coffee per week, as I drink tea with no caffein.
I, personally, think that atrial fibulation was brought on by stress. I am a health nut and I am very conscious of what I eat and drink. I do not partake in any sort of drug related activities, however, I do have a glass of wine or two on the weekends.  | 
Afib has a high recurrence rate, but it is very treatable. For example, I am having an ablation procedure done to hopefully prevent it from ever happening to me again, but there is also medication they can give too.
