Heart beats rapidly?!


Question:

Heart beats rapidly?

I was asleep and I believe I was dreaming, when I felt my heart beat rapidly, very fast. That's when I woke up. I thought it was just a dream, but I think I really felt my heart beat fast like that. Then I fell asleep again, and woke up the same way. Is something wrong with me?
I'm 16 years old
It was almost 3-5 beats a second


Answers:

Hey Wayne, it could be caffeine or a dream, but if this continues you should see a doctor. Try taking your own pulse when this happens. A normal pulse rate is 60-100 beats per minute. Its hard to describe where you should feel at if you don't know already, but feel around on the inside of your wrist where you see all the tendons heading to the hand. Hope everything is alright, if you have any other questions let me know
