I am a 21-year-old male college student. Over the past couple of months I have started to experience a very hard pounding heartbeat. I can just be sitting and laying down trying to sleep and it feels like my heart is going to pound out of my chest. It isn t necessarily beating fast, just hard. And it sometimes feels that my heart is heavy . About six weeks ago it was really bad after a day of drinking a couple of energy/alcoholic drinks, so I went to the ER the next day. They did a EKG and said it was normal. Did blood work which was normal. They also did a chest x-ray and the doctor told me I did have a larger than normal heart, but nothing to worry about. I am scared and ready to go to a cardiologist. Any ideas?
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to anxiety. Nevertheless, I would recommend performing further tests in order to exclude any possible cardiac disorders
