Hello everyone, I am an 18 male. In the
last few days something quite surprising
happened to me... One evening, im at the
movies watching a funny movie, when all of
a sudden my heart started beating quite
rapidly and with strong pulses. This was
then followed by a bit of panic which I
subdued myself, but throughout the rest of
the movie, and that evening I was quite
worried about what that was. When I was
back home, I experienced certain
palpitations, which I still do, and these
palpitations are quite new to me. I do
regular excercise, not only in school, and
im in fairly good shape. I have a semi
healthy diet, I dont eat too many fat
products, though that night I did eat some
ice cream. Basically I have no idea what
is going on in my chest, I only know that
it is driving me mad.. I have a hard time
sleeping and I tend to feel these
palpitations all the time now for a couple
of days. Here in panama, going to the
doctor isnt free, and I dont feel too
comfy asking my parents to take me to the
doctor unless im sure there is some good
reason, so I would like to hear the
oppions of some of you on this site.
I would like to know if what im
experiencing is common, and whether or not
I have a reason to be worried. Im hoping
it is something that will go away in time,
sometimes I dont feel the palpitations, or
maybe I just ignore them, and sometimes
they are strong.
