I recently had a heart physical examination because I was experiencing occasional sharp pains in my chest and a fast pulse, reaching 110 beats per minute. I also felt fatigued. During my general physical examination at the heart hospital, I underwent several tests, including an ultrasound, blood test, electrocardiogram, and stress test.
