helloo
I'm a 19 year old female, 5"9 and a
healthy weight
Last night my heart suddenly started
beating really really fast. It felt as if
there was a big weight resting on
mychest..but it wasn't difficult to
breathe. Everytime I would try to time the
beats per minute I could only reach 20
beats in 5 seconds before I kept panicking
thinking I was having a heart attack. I
tried lying down and taking deep breaths
to calm myself down. My arms felt very
weak, especially my left and there was
pressure along the left side of my jaw. I
never experienced any pain just a lot of
pressure, racing heart and weak arms,etc.
My heart beat slowed down after about 45
minutes but continued to beat fairly fast
for the next 2 hours
I had taken a few hits of mairjuana in the
previous hour before this happened but
didn't have enough to be anywhere near
being high and it was not my first time
smoking. I really don't think there is any
relation..but idk
In the past I've had high blood pressure
that the doctors couldn't explain for
someone my age and health and recently at
a blood donation center I was told my
pulse was over 100 and was deferred from
donating blood.
Today I feel fine...so I guess I'm
wondering what happened to me? I feel
silly even thinking I could have had a
heart attack while I'm so young.. And is
it even worth going to the doctor or am I
just overreacting?
Sorry for the long post & Thanks for
any feedback
