Hi after lunch I was watching a movie (relaxed) and my heart started to beat really fast and it felt like it was going to pop out of my chest, it doesn t happen often though. I thought I was having a miny heart attack but I m only 16 and although it could happen to anyone i thought no way. I looked on the internet and it said something about a heart palpitations.
Dear, Welcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. The present heart palpitation you complained could simply be due to stress. Usually, body rhythm changes after food. To digest food, body needs more oxygen and blood and automatically heart beat and blood pressure is increased. You watched absent-mindedly the palpitation and got obsessed with it. When you started watching the heart beat, body considered it as stress and took preventive measures. Rapid heart beat is bodies preventive measure to overcome stressful situation. Don't worry. You may consult a physician for necessary evaluations. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http
