Heart fluctuations and dizziness
Posted , 6 users are following.
I'm 20 years old and for the last few weeks I've been experiencing a few heart related issues, my heart seems to be beating faster and harder than usual and as a result I've been feeling a bit unwell. I've had it pretty much everyday but it's been slightly more noticable the last few days, it leaves me feeling quite breathless and with a fluttering type feeling in my stomach with occasionally cramp like pains with lose of appetite, but mainly I just feel quite dazed and light headed most of the day and I seem to get very tired if I undertake normal activities such as work. I just would really appreciate it if anyone had any advice, I've looked around online and it sounds like it might just be a tempoary problem maybe linked with possible stress. Thank you very much.

Sorry to hear of your problems.
I would suggest you ring youir doctor or go to hospital asap. It may be nothing serious, but better safe than sorry.
If you go to your nearest hospital they at least will do an ECG, take bloods and your blood presure which will then tell them what is wrong.
I unfortunately in the last 2 years have had a lot of experience in matters to do with the heart, both for myself and my wife.
Good luck and let me know how you get on. You could also ring the 111 number and explain everything to them, but they will probably tell you to also to go to your hospital.
Best wishes Ken.

I had similar issues (not quite as severe as yours) with my heart around that age. It ended up being nothing serious. As a matter of fact, my doctor said it was "growing pains". But you should definitely have it checked to make sure there is nothing more serious going on.
Make sure you cut out all caffeine and especially "power" drinks like Monster and Red Bull if you are using any of those.
Take care!

Have you been driking and smoking. 'Holiday Heart Syndrome' affects young people that have been partying a lot. It's like atrial fibrillation but stops when you change your lifestyle.
It could also be harmless 'ectopic beats'
An ECG would rule out heart issues.
Good luck
