Could The Pounding Of Heart Be Due To Stress?

I am 16 years old girl and already a few days my heart palpitations. Do not get stressed, do not drink any alcohol, not smoke. This may indicate a heart pounding heart disease? In the four years I was sent to theÿ echocardiography without cardiac problems only preventive pediatrician that due to my hydrocephalus exclude hypoplastic heart syndrome. This syndrome was excluded by echocardiography. If these my current heart problems (palpitations at rest) meant something more serious, followed by heart surgery? So what would it be? Heart disease? If it was this, what is the treatment?

Hello,

Normal heart echocardiography effectively rules out any congenital heart condition which would ever require surgery. So you need to be reassured about the same.

Stress increases the amount of circulating stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol which would increase the heartbeats and make heart contract strongly causing the symptoms of palpitations. It's completely physiological, and need not be worried about.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
