Hi im a 17 year old male..And There was a part today that scared me...i was Just laying down watching t.v when suddently my heart just races in a second after that my heart raced for a few minutes but while that happen i had a fast heart rate ,tightness in neck i felt like i had to throw up and i was shaking because my body felt cold This has never happened to me b4...but i have been having chest pains since october of 2007 i had it all checked out and everything came out normal..i had a cat scan of the chest and lungs and they found nothing everything came out normal does anyone have any idea what happend with my heart why would it just....jumpstart like that Once again I was Laying down Play a video game called call of duty 4....while i was Playing my heart Just Forcfully beat..and it scared me i was doing no movement
it could be Super Ventricular TachycardiaSVT or similar
I had something like that had 3 procedures on heart to finally
correct it all
a heart echo and a stress test may be needed as
it would not show up otherwise in the hospital
it would do this at home when I quickly bent to get
something that fell out of dryer or car keys hit the floor
it was scary and getting it diagnosed was not easy
I had to have my heart stopped and restarted too many
times to count...you need a good
Electro physiologist Cardiologist; they deal with irregular
heartbeats etc. Good Luck
