What Causes Heart Palpitations At Rest In Teenager?
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? So what would it be? Heart disease? If it was this, what is the treatment?

I have gone through your question. Having said that your Echo is normal ..
I suppose your ECG too is normal. You probably do not have a heart
disease. you must get a thyroid function test done . Hyperthyroidism
(excess thyroid) causes palpitations at rest (most common in teenagers) .
if it is normal then get a 24 Hr Holter test done. Get back to me after the
results.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
