You may undergo 24 hour Holter monitor test. A Holter monitor is a machine that continuously records the heart's rhythms. The monitor is usually worn for 24 - 48 hours during normal activity.

it could be the electrical wiring in your heart which is hard to detect even if you go to the doctor it won't show up it will only show when it happens, go back and tell them all your symptoms this time go to a specialist not the ER
It sounds more like you have a back or neck problem. Those symptoms can be caused by pinched nerves or vertebrae being out of alignment.
Hello,
I read all of your question and comments, I am an allied health professional and I would highly recommend you get an echocardiogram done (its an ultrasound of the heart) that allows the physician to see what's happening inside. I would also recommend a 12 lead ECG to be done to test all angles of your heart in terms of heart rhythm
