    Sounds like you have "Palpitations" Tell your parents immediately. It may be something, it may be nothing, but let someone know.

    Your blood pressure is raising and your getting palpitations. Go see a doctor! stop drinking caffeine and if it keeps happening after 5 days then id get the local doctor to refer you to a cardiologist after a extensive blood test, checking thyroids, electrolytes, blood sugar, and cholesterol.

    Have yourself checked out!

    Drink plenty of water too, try to get 2L a day. But talk to the doctor!

    Yes, you got palpitations. But what is that?

    Palpitations occur when a person can feel abnormalities in the normal beating of the heart. These palpitations can be an isolated extra beat, or they can run together and last for prolonged periods of time.

    The symptoms of palpitations vary from patient to patient with some common features. A perception of irregularity of the pulse, an uneasiness in the chest, a flip-flopping in the chest; frequently people describe their palpitations as "my heart stops." Certainly a feeling of strong pulse throughout the chest, head and neck could well be described as a palpitation.

    Other expressions are, 'skips a beat', 'heart turns in chest', 'flutters', 'tickles in chest', 'butterflies', 'heart jumps out of chest', 'hammering in chest' etc.

    In a diseased state it could be due to:

    # Premature atrial contractions (PAC) or premature ventricular contractions (PVC).
    # Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
    # Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter
    # Ventricular Tachycardia and Fibrillation

    Causes of palpitations:

    # From within the body, abnormal levels of electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, and calcium can cause palpitations. Anemia and hyperthyroidism are also a potential causes of palpitations.

    Other causes:

    * caffeine,
    * tobacco,
    * alcohol,
    * over the counter medications: pseudoephedrine found in cold preparations and some herbal medications, including ma huang
    * illicit drugs, cocaine being the most prevalent, although PCP and marijuana, among others, can cause palpitations as well.
