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.
my heart beat pumps hard sometimes, i could barely count the beat from 2-4 counts. No pain when it occurs but when it does, i feel it hurt itself coming from the hard pumps that i could actually feel at the upper right mid corner of my chest, im just 19 years old, i dont think I could have serious heart problems!.
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. Sudden onset abnormal beats of heart can occur due to some cardiac arrhythmic event. Even if individuals suffer no symptoms still they may show subclinical arrhythmia. Visit a doctor for evaluation and help. If cardiac cause is ruled out then other possible cause for such symptoms is anxiety. Anxiety may present with episodic panic attacks and individuals may show palpitations and some times present with irregular heart beat. In most individuals medicines like Clonazepam, Alprazolam etc helps to control the symptoms. In some patients regular treatment with Antianxiety drugs is needed. Visit a psychiatrist for help.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care.
