For a country that brags about the best health care some of this is garbage...

Electrical problems in the heart are highly treatable / curable but alternatively can be "managed" with medication for less.

You need to see your doctor.

My old friend was feeling crappy then his chest started to hurt -he thought he was dying of a heart attack. Turned out he had a bleeding ulcer (H pylori) and and was so anemic his heart almost failed. 2 units of blood and he felt great.
