Should I Be Worried About The Raised Heart Beat?
Hi , I am 28 and I was installing a fence today and it was in the 90 s so I was very hot and so I had a 20 oz bottle of water in the cooler , so I grabed it out and chugged it and about 20 seconds later my heart started beating really really fasts d it lasted for a couple of minutes then it calmed down. Is this something I should worry about?

Hello, I understand your worries.
You had an episode of palpitation. It is a common problem I diagnose among young patients regularly.
They are not harmful, and the cause is not known. But a couple of factors trigger them eg;
- Stress (In your case)
- Caffeine and smoking
- Pregnancy
- sleep deprivation etc.
Some of the ways to help with your palpitations are by avoiding stimulant like caffeine/smoking, sleeping 6-7 hours in a day, exercising at least 3 times a week and eating healthily. You should be fine with these changes. Best regards
