### Patient: Doctor, I've been experiencing palpitations, sharp chest pain, and an irregular heartbeat. What could be the cause?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you could be experiencing coronary atherosclerosis. This is a condition where the arteries that supply blood to your heart become narrowed and can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeats. We'll need to run some tests to make sure and discuss potential treatment options.
