I am 16 years old, do i have heart problems?

Question:

Hi, I have been experiencing some tingling in the heart area. It feels like an ant crawling inside of the heart. Doesn't hurt but just feels quite weird. I can excersize but my heart beats fast. However, I can breathe normally. I went to see 5 doctors about this and they all took x rays, did the imaging of the heart (I forgot wat it was called), did EKG, and of course listened to my heart. They all said I was fine. What do I do?

Answers:
do you drink a lot of mountain dew or other high caffiene drinks? if so, these could be causing the problem? i just wonder because many of us do consume a lot of caffiene.

when we exercise, our heart rates do go up.. i think that what matters is how quickly your heart goes back to it's normal rate after exercise? you could talk to someone at your local gym or a personal trainer to find out just what is "normal".

if this is a major concern, perhaps see your doctor again.. im sorry you're going through this, it has to be a worry. hugs

Umm... listen to your doctors!!

I've had a problem like that for years. Ever since i was young i had pretty much what you described but they did not find anything. Then when i went for a checkup one time they told me i had a heart murmor but then a few years later it came back with nothing. The doctors pretty much just came up with no answers either.

listen to the doctors,it sounds like you have had a good workup and such...do you drink alot of caffenie produtcs,and i dont mean just soda pop...sports drinks,energy drinks and the likes of those things containe caffeine and other thing that can make you feel weird
