Hi, I had the same symptoms starting at about age 10 and found out when I was 21 I have Mitral Valve Prolapse.  Not too serious, but you do need to know in case complications arise.  See your Dr.

I definitely think you should make an appt. to see your Dr.  I think you need to find out if there is a problem or not. The Dr. also needs to know that you felt your heart beating fast before you passed out a couple of months ago. Have you told your parents? I'm sure it's nothing serious to worry about but if this is bothering you , you'll feel better if you have it checked out by a Dr.
