No but I would talk to your doctor and see what is causing that.

Hi.I would strongly recommend a visit to her GP.Most palpitations (exaggerated perception of one's heartbeat) are benign and caused by stress, anxiety, coffee, smoking, etc.Some of them require immediate attention, especially when accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness , nausea or other worrisome signs. Please get her to visit her GP and I would also recommend check-ups in a cardiologist's office once every 2-3 years for everybody. Good luck! Bogdan Vulcan

No somebody who has just gone through that and was rushed to hospital as an emergency case.  \n\nAs others have said, shortness of breath, irregular heart beat, blue tinge to lips, toes, fingers ect.\n\nIf you have any concerns go see a doctor now or it might be too late.

I had tachicardio and PVC's nothing major just a pill a day until I had dropped a few pounds (after I delivered the baby) and change in diet!\nYou should see a doctor soon though!

yes i suffered with this condition as a child and know horrible it is first hand.  I used to have fits in public and it was so embarassing having loads of people gawping at you and calling you a spaz.  I used to take medication for it - the consulant started me on epinutin which made me like a zombie, 3 years after that they changed it to epilim that did me no good whatsoever, then they put me on tegratol which i stayed on until i was 13 and eventually weaned off.  I have now been fit free for 16 years but its still possible for me to have fits but only through severe pain its just lucky i know the warning signs, its different for each person but for me firstly i get a ringing in my ears ( like the ringing sound you hear when you switch on a TV) then my head goes all fuzzy, i start to see starry patterns in front of my eyes, then the ringing gets louder, the fuzziness gets fuzzier then nothing just blackness!! i hope i have been of some help, but there are plenty of websites offering a wealth of information, the british epileptic association being one of them, i just wanted to share my personal experience of the condition and hope that your friend is ok.

I also have had them. I am also a medical student just finishing med school.  Those beats you felt are called "PVC's", which in english is a skipped heart beat. You feel it as a racing heart.  This can occur with any "stimulants" like caffine (coke, coffee, red bull), diet pills, decongestents (especially sudafed since it has pseudoephedrine (a stimulant).  \nHowever, you need to have your heart monitored by your own doctor. He will likely give you a "holter monitor" which records your heart over 24 hours.  You should also discuss with your doctor any abnormal or "sudden      s" in your family. \nHope I helped, take care

it did the same thing to me. i couldnt stand having much light on or i got dizzy and my eyes hurt. i had to get off of zoloft because of it but please talk to your doctor before you stop taking it.

You could have a mitral valve prolapse which is common and harmless. They can cause palpitations. Sometimes, a full meal causes your heart to work a little harder to digest which will cause an increase in pulse and more palpitations.

The "official" side effects of Cymbalta are nausea, Constipation, Decreased appetite, dizziness, Dry mouth, fatigue, increased sweating, Loss of strength or energy, sleepiness.\n\nYour pharmacist should have given you a listing of information you need to know about Cymbalta.\n\nNothing shows anxiety attacks as a side effect.  In fact, research is being done on Cymbalta FOR anxiety attacks.\n\nMy guess is that the anxiety attacks are part of the condition, rather than the result of the medication.\n\nObviously, though, the best bet is to talk to the doctor instead of relying on information here.  Regardless of what people may say, doctors DO know best when it comes to these things.

Are you exhibiting the classic symptoms of angina with shortness of breath, heavy sweating, jaw pain or down the arm?  I would be very skeptical about taking these medications for someone your age.  I suggest seeing a Cardiologist, please have your doctor refer you to one!    It is normal for a teen to have a heart rate of 90 bpm.  This really does sound more like heart burn or acid reflux.  Try over the counter medications like Pepcid or Zantac and see if these help.  Check with the pharmacist though for interactions with the other meds you are taking!  Good Luck!

You probably have PVCs/PACs, I've had them for a few years and I hate those @@#$@ so much. They feel like an extra beat, flip flop, or fast double beat right? I think its recommended that you be evaluated by a cardiologist to make sure you dont have any heart defects. The vast majority of cases though either just happen for no apparent reason, anxiety/stress related, potassium/calcium/magnesium imbalance in your blood, or a thyroid problem like they were saying. My doc theyre probably anxiety related too and I didn't think I'm anxious either. A lot of people say beta blockers work for them as well and my doc put me on one but it didn't do anything for me. Never tried an antidepressant/anxiety drug but some people say those have helped them, so go for it if you want. Mine seem to be triggered when I'm under stress, drink, dont get enough sleep, or drink too much caffeine. Exercise seems to reduce them for me, but everyone's triggers are different. You can check out the heart forum at medhelp.org a lot of people have them and have all kinds of weird tips and tricks you can try. I think the best thing to do if they really bother you is keep track of what triggers them and then avoid those triggers if practical.

Sounds like WPW sydrome, or atrial fibrilation.  Go to a cardiologist and get an EKG.

I had this problem. too!\nI really thought it was something with my heart...\nI went to doctor and he said that was just a result on stress and overworking (overstudying)... So, he said that the best thing is just relax and go to the gym to energize there...\nI did that...\nI started to go to the gym: not so often and i didn't work out very much...But, it helped..\nAnd, i started to eat a little less (but i didn't eat too much, just though to let you know :) )...and because of that i begun to feel lighter and all pains gone...\nHope, that will help at least a little bit :)\nHope that nothing serious with you\nTake care

Hi, I am sorry to hear this.  You didn't state if this has always happened to you or not?!  If it is something new you are experiencing then I would really speak to a Doc.  Sometimes a load of stress in other areas of your life can make you heart race and do funny things.  It isn't uncommon to have panic attacks when stressed or nervous.  There are probably a lot of options out there to help you with out taking meds. I would really talk to your family doctor as soon as you can, just to make sure there isn't something majorly wrong.  Take Care of yourself and remember you are the best judge of yourself and what you need.  Sending you lots of smiles :) :) :)

That could be a number of things. Both of my sisters had heart palpitations and it turned out they have a heart condition called mitrovalve prolapse. You should go to the doctor and get a complete physical and have them run some tests to rule out anything serious.
