Why Does One Feel That The Heart Is Racing?
I am 15 and female. My whole left side feels numb and tingly. I feel like I m having hot flashes and can feel my heart racing. I m dizzy and feel like I m going to faint. No appetite. My mom said it s in my head but it feels real to me. What do you think?

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your symptoms can be because of anxiety but dizziness with racing heart rate needs a proper evaluation to avoid any life-threatening event.
It’s recommended for you to get an ECG and echocardiography done and consult a physician for proper physical evaluation and further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
