What Could Pounding Heart Rate In Children Suggest?
is this real? o.o uh, well, my heart is pounding and I really don't know why. I'm kinda lazy, so I didn't run around or anything to get it going, but I don't eat the healthiest. I'm 16 years old, I have a fast metabolism(5'3 and 98 lbs)so, I don't know what's wrong with me.

Hi,
In a just a age of 16 years old if you feel something weird in chest of you if feel it is the abnormal heart beat then it may be due to anxiety and stress and not due to any disease, it is nothing wrong with your health, let me inform you that abnormal heart beat can only be detected with EKG and it dose not have any obvious symptoms, so it is nothing to worry, if the feeling long last then it is advisable to see the cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
