Heart Palpitations About 3-5minutes, Needle Prick Sensation In Chest. Reasons ?
Hi. I m 19 y/o female. I don t really have heart palpittions normally. But this past few days, about 3 or 4 days i feel heart palpitations about 3-5minutes. And it usually occurs at night. And sometimes I feel some needle prick sensations on my chest but it only lasted for about 1-2 minutes and sometimes I can feel it at some parts of my body.

Your Palpitations may be related to heart issue or may be due to Stress or Anxiety.
Do one thing get your EKG done when you feel palpitations. Your EKG will rule out whether it is related to heart or anxiety. Other other specific investigation was required.
If it is related to heart than it may be Atrial fibrillation(AF) or PSVT. Both the condition are treatment by medications like beta blockers or calcium channel blockers.
If it is related to anxiety that you need to be relax and have some time with your dear ones.
Consult your doctor and get to a diagnosis.
Best Wishes
