Patient's Query
My 12yr old daughter has mentioned to be that she has IIrregular heartbeats asin she feel her heart skip a beat then speed up is that normal? From my understanding it is but I am just after advice.
Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Young people, like your daughter, often experience abnormal heart rhythms. The skipping heartbeat, then a rapid one, is called palpitations. Reasons can be stress, caffeine intake, inadequate sleep, or hormonal fluctuations. Generally harmless, but mentioning it to a cardiologist is wise for reassurance.
