Sometimes I suddenly feel like my heart is beating faster, like it is trying to come out of my chest and even my breathing feels weird, it only happens like once every week, it only used to happen like once every month or so. I am only 16 should I be concerned about this??
Hello, You are highly likely experiencing episode of supraventricular tachycardia. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) starts abruptly with rapid, regular heart beat and stops on its own. Some patients may also experience lightheadedness, chest discomfort, sweating or breathlessness. Usually, there are no any structural abnormalities in the heart, but abnormal electric conduction in the heart chambers causes rapid heartbeat. The diagnosis can be confirmed by ECG, holder monitoring or electrophysiologist studies. The occasional episodes of PSVT without any other symptoms commonly have a good prognosis. PSVT is induced by certain risk factor which you should avoid
