Heart beats hard and slow sometimes?!


Question: Heart beats hard and slow sometimes?
It's usually when I'm standing up for 1 minute or longer, going up stairs, walking to class, after I drink something, and sitting up after lying down. Being honest- I don't eat healthy at all. I rarely drink water, I rarely eat fruits, never eat vegetables, hardly exercise, always sleepy/drained of energy. I do get happy episodes where I'm out of character a few hours, then the next I'm all mad and depressed. I used to have a heart murmur when I was younger (I'm 14 now), and got headaches because of them. When my heart beats now, it feels like it's dragging it on hard, before releasing it. It feels like I have to try hard to breath normally. It makes me a little dizzy or gives me a headache...
What could be wrong?
I don't know if this is relevant, but my dad smokes, and my mom puts those smoke scent things all over the house sometimes.

A couple of things:
1. Take a quick trip to the doctors office, this could be more or less serious then you think
2. Get some exercise, it will help more then you think
3. If you're not gonna eat healthy, at least try to take some form of One-A-Day pill, but try to have at least one piece of fruit a day, that's my general rule of thumb and it's served me well so far.

And sorry to hear about your dad's smoking problem, second hand smoke is a very serious issue as well. Like I said, take a quick trip to the doctors office.



Too much sodium in your diet probably.
