Heart Races All the Time - Help :( Posted: 08-08-04 16:43pm
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?

Hi
first of all,my name is peggy,and I had
that problem,when I was about 23. You
could have tachycardia,which is just means
you have a fast heartrate.,and as long as
you dont get out of breath and pass out
with this,you are ok.,but,if you are that
worried about it,i would say,see a doctor.
Are you an anxious,and excitable person?
This leads to it,too. Also,alot of
caffeine. I speak this from
experience,believe me,but it never hurts
to see a doctor for a checkup. :d
