I dunno, how is a racing 200bpm heart beat joint pain?

Oh no I didn't mean that- that's obviously super sketchy, I was only talking about the ache he said he had.

I might be anxiety, but having both that and a pain in chest at the same time seems concerning

The only time in my life I can recall having a heart beat like that when at rest and not active was after a party where I had consumed like 6+ cans of “Sparks”, a delicious but I believe now-banned mixture of 12% alcohol + caffeine

I remember it freaked me out enough I had my cousin drive me (since he was always sober at parties and thus Designated Dave) to the ER, but upon arrival, my bp was normal

Haha yeah, we used to have Fourlokos which were the same thing, and also got banned and they had to take the caffeine out in order to start selling it again.

I guess I'm just primed to reassure people if they are worried about cardiac stuff cause when I was in my early 20's I had extremely bad anxiety and panic issues, and I didn't know that's what they were at the time, and I started having extremely fast racing heartbeats and skipped heartbeats and thought I was gonna die for like five years, it was really awful. Then I finally saw a doctor and a cardiologist and they determined everything was fine and I just had horrible anxiety, which triggers huge adrenaline and other hormonal things that affect the heart.

There are two, polar opposite readings to this that reasonable people could come to.

There's more than that but the one you're thinking of only plays in Peoria.
