My heart has been beating strange lately, and i was wondering why?? like its skips a beat?

Question:

for the past 4 days my heart has been beating very heavily, and i feel shortness of breath and lightheaded. I also get a headache only on my left side when it happens. Does anyone know why this could happen?

Answers:
Most common cause of "double heart beating" or extrasystoles in a young person, is stress and nervousness (98% if under ages 20 to 25)
A mild sedative after a EKG by your GP combined or not with a beta blocker in decent quantities, (propanolol 80 miligrams per day divided in half doses) will do the trick----
First step is CALM DOWN, in the vast majority f cases it is more a nuisance that means literary nothing, to a treatable condition, and normaly, no more than an acurate EKG will be needed at the GP office---

Are You Doing Drugs?

I don't know, but the symptoms sound specific enough to see a doctor about!

You may have a heart murmur go see a doctor please

you could have mitral valve prolaps.. You should consult with a cardiologist.

You could be having some sort of irregular heart beat.. you should see the doctor as soon as you can, especially since you are having other symptoms that go along with it. Do you drink alot of caffeinated drinks, are you taking any meds??

Doctor Please..it could b anything cardiovascular. That's 2 what around 2 find out why.doctor please..

I would see a doctor to be safe.

You could be having a heart attack , or just recovering from a mild silent hear attack, I think you should see a doctor, you don"t want to play around with your heart !!

Arrhythmia.
