What Can Cause Heart Palpitations?
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?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to cardiac arrhythmia.
For this reason, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for this issues.
Some blood lab tests are necessary too:
-complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
