Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I am 16 years old and take ballet classes. Recently Ive had problems when I dance where my heartbeat will increase from normal to an abnormal fast racing pace all of a sudden. It lasts for about 4 minutes after i sit down. It usually occurs after jumps. I am very worried because even durng simple routines my heart is fine and from one moment to another it is going extremely fast. What is this?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that heart rate is ever changing phenomena depending on your activity level, emotional stress and physiological changes. Considering your age it’s recommended for you to get an ECG to check if you have normal sinus rhythm and and Echocardiography to evaluate structural heart disease which might be causing you symptoms. Consult a physician for proper physical evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Heart rate increases after physical activities like dancing and running and it is absolutely normal phenomenon and nothing to worry in it. It will return to normal after few minutes. You can take an ECG to rule out any abnormal rhythm just for reassurance.
