Heart rate problems?!
Question: I'm 15 years old and today when I was walking back from school, my heart rate started increasing and now when I run or jump or anything, it increases at a very rapid rate and it makes me feel like I'm suffocating. This has never happened before... Also, I'm sick today with a cold or fever or something I'm not sure and I took 2 Tylenol night pills... could any of these things be the problem?? I'm getting worried I could get a heart attack... 15 year olds shouldn't get heart attacks right??!

may be heart palpataions. see a doc, and not to scare you, but even a 15 year old can have a heart defect. see a doc, get an EKG (checks your heart rythem), and see what the results are. also, if your having any caffine (coffee, energy drink,) that can affect it. the heart is a body part not to ignore, as i often do, and i'm an idiot for doing so.
it could be a sign of asthma
see a doctor, i was born with a enlarged heart, that's OK now. but I've had thyroid problems for a long time, that will give you all kinds of problems.
