Can Stress Be The Cause For Rapid Heart Beats?
Hello Doctor. I write cause sometimes my heart starts to rapidly vibrate and beats at a bit more than 200 pulsations per minute ( I am sixteen years old) for no more than 5 minutes, then it returns to normality.It is impredictable to know when is gonna happen each time, no matter if I am doing exercise or just sitted. I am sedentary and a very nervious and stressed person. Could this be the causant of this problem?

stress can cause palpitations but what ever u r explaining doesn't look like a stress but a kind arrhythmia called as psvt. so you should see the cardiologist and get investigated. test like holter and electrophysiological studies will be done according to need. most of the times it's a treatable condition
