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 experienced palpitations or rapid thumping in my chest today when playing soccer. It lasted for about a minute, while I layed down and tried to relax. The thumping was extremely fast, faster than I have ever experienced. I do exercise regularly, but have not played soccer in awhile- perhaps I over exerted myself? My medical history includes a patent foramen ovale but was checked out with an EKG and was told it was nothing to worry about. I am a 22 year old, otherwise healthy male. I am living in rural China now, so getting a Doctor's advice is difficult.
You should not exhaust your self in work or play, and you should have some rest. you need to see a cardiologist to do ECHO imaging to see everything is ok.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
