I am 21, male, and i normally get heart
palpatations for no reason, I am calm when
going places especially crowded places,
Ive been told that we all get them and not
to worry about it.
Should i be worried?

I'm tempted to say that you shouldn't be
worried, but you need to get tested out
first, in order to exclude any potential
physical conditions:
- Get an ECG/EKG scan.
- Test your blood pressure.
- Test your cholesterol levels.
If all those tests come back normal - then
you shouldn't worry about it. I get those
palpitations sometimes too... it's all
self-induced anxiety. The only way to get
rid of those symptoms is to work on your
anxiety.

I get palpitations, its all part of my
stress and anxiety levels.
Your mind can often play games though, ive
worried about having palpitations since
they began... and even if I started having
them now, the chances are they would still
frighten me... but really they are a
natural thing that can happen. But still,
the irrational part of me combined with
alot of imagination makes me thoroughly
believe something potentially serious is
going on.
Ive been too see doctors so many times to
check my heart, and its always top-notch.
I have horrible fears of having a heart
attack. My adrenalin gets into my blood
and gives me palpitations and such when I
worry, or even just for no reason. Just
like BAM!
There are other causes of palpitations
that arn't serious;
overful stomach
flatulence
constipation
indigestion
smoking
caffeine
alcohol
drugs/medication
general excitement
exertion
fear
infections
the list goes on

I get them as well. Lots of exercise and
hydration helped me.

Palpitations Posted: 08-28-07 10:43am
I am a 22 year old male who gets
palpitations. They are very scary. I get
used to them now, sometimes they feel so
much worse of a thud than others but did
you know that they are always the same no
matter how hard the thud is, dont know why
but they are.
Try magnesium and potassium supplements,
maybe even ginkgo balboa. My blood
pressure is high but it was way before the
palpitations, i have put on weight though,
i used to be an avid gym goer but when i
stopped i put on the weight. I think in my
situation it couyld be a weight issue and
anxiety. I dint know you can feel anxious
if you put on weight?
