My Heart is racing?!


Question:

My Heart is racing?

My heart has been racing for at least 4 years. It used to happen just once a month and race for about an hour or two. I had to wear a heart monitor but they said it was normal for a kid my age (i'm 15). But now its happening almost everyday or every two days. It can last from a couple of seconds to a couple of hours. And the other wierd part is that sometimes it happens when im relaxing, like sitting watching tv or lying down. My mom says it just from eating to much sugar, can that be true? Can anyone who has had the same problem tell me if this is normal or serious. Thanks.

By the way, i've been to the cardiologist. But they say they dont worry unless it the heart gets up to over 200 beats a minute. Mine usally goes around 140-175.

And I consume caffeine not everyday but enough. And it doesnt hurt when it happens. More enough just slows me down.

The only thing that really kinda scares me though. Is that heart attack runs in my family. My grandfather died from a heart attack and my dad suffered from one about 2 years ago. Hes ok no though.


Answers:

I can't imagine why your parents and Doctors are not getting to the bottom of this. God willing, it may be nothing to worry about but clearly you are worried about it which must add additional stress to you. Please ask your parents to intervene for you and get some answers for you. I will pray for you because it has to be very scary for you. Take care.You shouldn't have to ask strangers and unqualified individuals to determine what is wrong with you. This is certainly for a Dr. to help you with.I am sorry you didn't get the help you need in the beginning.
