Worried about heart palps

[missdenaie]

Hello. I'm 21, and I have been having palpitations (everyday) sometimes they last less than a minute and sometimes more. I've had some difficulty breathing, especially when I'm inactive and some chest pain on my left side toward the top of my chest, also some stuffy nose when i wake up in the morning. I'm 5'6" and I weight 190lbs. Is these issues due to weight or should I worry??


Thanks

I've had them checked and my doctor wants to do a 30 day monitor. These palps feel like I'm having a 3rd heart beat, kind of like a flutter, but I'm also having MINOR chest pain on my left side with a temp of 100 daily. I went to the school doctor and they said it was brochitis, but it's not. Should I be worried about heart attack or something?

You really should have your palps evaluated by a doctor.  No one can tell the benign heart palps from the serious types without having a cardiac work-up.  One of the best ways to catch your palps is a holter monitor that you wear for a day (sometimes longer if the palps are intermittent).  It is painless and the information received from it can be very useful.
