Suggest Remedies For Episodes Of Rapid Heart Beats

I'm 15 years and since I was about 12 I had rapid heart beats even if I wasn't doing any excercise or scared or anything that would usually make a heart beat rapidaly . They don't happen daily ; I had about 30 since I was but I'm afraid they can lead to heart attacks . How can I stop this from happening .

Hello!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that some heart palpitations are quite normal in every healthy individual.

They could be related to physical activity or anxiety.

Anyway, I would recommend performing some tests in order to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia or any metabolic causes :

-a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for any imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to examine your heart rhythm trends and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
