Heart Beats Really Fast - Help :( Posted: 08-08-04 17:15pm
Hello all,
i wasn't really sure where to post this
one as i'm not sure what it could be. I
am extremely aware of my heartbeat all the
time, not so much because I can feel it
because I usually can't, but i'm always
always checking my pulse to see how fast
it's going because i'm worried that it
beats too fast. All it takes is for me to
take a run downstairs and my heart is
racing. Even at rest it is often over 100
beats per minute (i read that 60-100 is
the norm for a resting heartrate). I just
think that my heart is working harder than
it should be and i'm not sure what to
think. I'm only 20 years old. Any ideas?

Have you had a complete physical??That can
detect any heart abnormalities and
possibly help to give you an answer to
your question.

Last time I visited the doctor he told me
my blood pressure and heart rate were
normal, and I have also had a chest x-ray
recently due to breathing difficulties but
it also came back normal. I know what
you're saying I probably should have a
complete physical to rule out heart
abnormalities but i'm sure they would have
been detected already.
