I am 27 years old I have 2 kids one is 8 and the other is 2. Over time I have realized my heart has a twitch to it. It does it on and off for a pretty long time, it does hurt. I have not been to the doctor about this, simply because it scares me. I feel like it is just stress related and after reading so responses, it might be. But is there another way to rule this out, what is a sign that its not....It goes on and on, for long periods of time almost to were I want to stop breathing to make it stop......In my family there is large close relations with diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes and many other thing in common. What do you think?
