I've been feeling a bit worried. I'm 14 and I've noticed my heart starts to race, like palpitations, especially after I've had a lot of sugar or after I've been really stressed out for a couple of days. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about this?

Heart palpitations in young individuals can sometimes be triggered by excessive sugar intake and stress. It is important to monitor your sugar consumption and practice stress management techniques. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Propranolol 10mg to help with the palpitations. However, if the palpitations persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

View allI've been dealing with a super fast heartbeat whenever I lie down in bed for the last 56 days. It's weird because I don't feel any pain or like my chest is congested, but I do feel a lot of anxiety. I'm 24, my height is 5'9", and I weigh about 80kgs. Whenever I'm walking or sitting, my heartbeat seems normal; it's just when I'm laying down that it speeds up. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it something serious?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called orthostatic intolerance, where your heart rate increases when you change positions, such as lying down. This can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, anemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. However, it's important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming electrolytes. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice promptly.

I've noticed that when I'm just walking at a normal pace, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to around 130. I'm not doing any brisk walking, just regular walking. Is this something I should be concerned about? My ECG came out normal, but I'm still a bit worried about this pulse range of 110-130 when I'm just walking. Any thoughts?
A pulse rate of 110-130 during normal walking can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular physical activity. Since you have already undergone an ECG and it was normal, it is a good sign that your heart is functioning well. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
