Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden my heart beat sped up, not like fear but fast and heavy beats. I couldn t breathe and right when I started to panic, it went back to normal. Could it be something wrong with my heart or maybe from extra stress? I am 26 and female.
Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM. I read and understand your question. I try my level best to help you.
As you have rapid heart rate, it is due to stress or some anxiety. You donot worry about that, it returns to normal. And it is normal phenomenon of body to stress and anxiety. If this symptom persist then show to your good physician.
