Heart palpitations/rapid heart beat at 16 years old?

(3 posts)
  1. Wth.. :o
    i'm a 16 year old girl and for the past couple of days i feel like my heart is just beating really fast. i try to do deep breathing but it doesn't help that much. i was born with a heart murmur. it has never bothered me.. i mean, i am pretty anxious. i feel like i worry like a mother lol..but currently, i don't really feel like theres anything in my life right now making me anxious. it's scaring me, and i'm going to the doctor tomorrow..on my birthday of all days -_- [yes, tomorrow is my 17th birthday] yeah, not the best way i'd like to spend my birthday but w/e.

    so.. what do you think this can be? i am overweight, i'm not gonna lie.. could it be that my blood pressure it too high which is causing rapid heart beat? could it be anxiety? please help!
    last night, i was trying to sleep just laying down in my bed resting, and my heart was beating pretty darn fast..wth?

    My eldest son is 22 and has a heart murmur and also has the rapid heartbeat at times. He also worries like a mother hen. It's anxiety. I'm glad you are seeing the doctor just to make sure it's nothing else - but I would say that it's anxiety. So... go see the doctor, get the good news, and have a very happy birthday!

    It would be so rare for someone so young to have a real heart problem. But let us know what's going on okay???
