Is it normal to have heart palpitations?

It depends on how often they occur.  Everyone has a palpitation every once in a while.  However, if these are occuring more than once or twice a month, you should see a doctor.  If you have a constant feeling of palpitations, you should go to the emergency room.

I have this, my doctor told me this was normal.  It's just the chest compensating for the space the heart takes up.  You must be very thin, as this was the case with me.  If you put on muscle weight it will even out.  Don't worry about it though, it time it will become less noticable.

I used to have some really bad ones! 2 or 3 times a day! I really thought I was having a heart attack, it is really frightening!!! I had to take anxiety medication and now I only have them once in a while! You look like you might be having a depression, too much stress and maybe not enough sleep! Don't stay like that, you are not alone, seek help from your doctor!!

It could be your heart. I would see a doctor to sort it out.

That could be a number of things. Both of my sisters had heart palpitations and it turned out they have a heart condition called mitrovalve prolapse. You should go to the doctor and get a complete physical and have them run some tests to rule out anything serious.

Are you exhibiting the classic symptoms of angina with shortness of breath, heavy sweating, jaw pain or down the arm?  I would be very skeptical about taking these medications for someone your age.  I suggest seeing a Cardiologist, please have your doctor refer you to one!    It is normal for a teen to have a heart rate of 90 bpm.  This really does sound more like heart burn or acid reflux.  Try over the counter medications like Pepcid or Zantac and see if these help.  Check with the pharmacist though for interactions with the other meds you are taking!  Good Luck!

A dysrhythmia can be many things, but is usually cardiac in nature. The actual medical terminology for dysrhythmia is: Abnormal, disordered, or disturbed rhythm. It usually is a "irregular" heartbeat, which a lot of people have, but can be more serious. Consult your Dr. for further questions, and exact meaning of "your dysrhythmia".

People often feel very anxious during a heart attack. Yes, the blood pressure and heart rate definitely can go up.

Yes, that happens to me sometimes and it's so annoying, or I'll focus on my heartbeats and then I get palpitations.  I think it's a pretty normal reaction because those functions are controlled by the unconscious part of your brain, and when you focus on them your conscious brain is trying to take over.  Don't sweat it!

It depends on how serious your MVP is. If you have palpitations or erratic heartbeat in addition to a heart murmur, it would be best to speak to your health practitioner before embarking on any exercise. Indeed, even if you don't have palpitations/erratic heartbeat, I would still speak to a health practitioner to find out what sort of exercise you can do, the duration and the intensity of working out, just to be on the safe side.

I dealt with a similar thing in college.  My heart irregularly papitated and it really disturbed me.  It would race up for no reason.  \n\nThings I did to reverse the problem:\n\n-Reduced my caffeine intake (caffeine has the potential to make your heart race)\n-I had an EKG study on my heart...it was normal\n-I got plenty of sleep at night\n-Realizing that the majority of my irregular heartbeats were contributed from Anxiety. \n-I began to pray for wisdom with this problem.\n\nAs for feeling your heartbeat after you eat, you will.  When you eat, your body has a lot of gas exchange during the whole digestive process.  The same gas that will make you belch or fart "pass gas" after a meal.  I noticed a lot of pressure in my heart area and discovered that the problem wasn't my heart, it was gas.  I suggest taking a TUMs or some kind of anti-acid to help reduce the gas, which should reduce the pressure around your heart after meals.  Lots of soft drinks, carbohydrates, junk food will bring on gas.  Try to stay away from those foods....I know, that's a hard thing to do if you're in college.  Junk food was everywhere when I was in college.  \n\nAbove all, if you have health insurance, use it.  Go see your doctor and ask him what's best.  He'll be able to tell you what anti-acid medicine you should take.  \n\nDo you have a lot of acid reflux?  \n\nI hope my advice helps ease things a little better.  \n\nGood luck and remember...I'm not an expert.  What I say is just a suggestion from past experiences.  If you're that worried about the heart beats, go see a doctor.

theyre probably PVCs or PACs (premature ventricular/atrial contractions). basically, a cell in the heart fires to early which makes it beat twice really fast, then your heart pauses for a brief second to allow itself to get back on track. i get hundreds to thousands of them a day, it kinda sucks. 10+ a minute when they are really acting up. lots of people get them and theyre completely harmless in most people, but you may want to consider getting checked out sometime because they can occasionally be symptom of other problems. but im not trying to scare you, most lof the time theyre harmless, as mine are. some of the common causes are too much caffeine, lack of sleep, smoking or drinking, and stress. but some people like me just get them for no reason. if youre getting a lot and they really bother you, the doctor can put you on a beta blocker which helps reduce them in some people. you can browse through old questions in the heart forum at medhelp.org lots of people have asked questions on them and you can learn a lot from reading the answers

I'm not saying that this is what it is....but sometimes it can be something related to your heart. Your heart is beating so fast that you sweat. It could be hormones....making you have hot flashes...it could be an electrolyte imbalance. All of which are important and I would consult your MD.

It is called a heart palpatation.. An irregualar beat of the heart... Many things can cause this. Stress levels, lack of sleep, too much caffine or nicotine. A cloged artery, A heart murmer not found yet, being diabetic can mess with your heart if you are not aware of the possibility of being so. Also at some point maybe you are having a minor panic attack.. It is something to truely get checked out because this can be a big problem that can cause an abrupt end to your life... Better to be safe than sorry.
