What Causes Sudden Dizziness And Palpitations?
About an hour ago I was sitting down and all of a sudden I got kinda dizzy and I got a fuzzy feeling all over my body and my heart was beating rapidly and I got scared and I could not control it. What does that mean? What would have caused that? Ps, I am 15 and I weigh around 120 and I am a male.

Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.
A cardiac arrhythmia can not be excluded, even considering your young age.
I recommend consulting with your family physician for a careful physical examination and some tests:
- a resting ECG
- blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes).
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be necessary to examine your heart rhythm trends during the day.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
