Sometimes i can feel my heart beating faster than usual, or feeling irregular. This usally happens at night or in the late evening. I cant go to sleep as i can feel my heart through my chest beating irregular, and to be honest its very frightening at times.
I have already had one echo scan in the past 2 years, on the NHS, and when the results came back everything was fine. (The NHS were very vague about the results). But i was told that my heart was faster than compared to others.
I am only 21 years of age and female and i dont smoke-neither have i ever been a smoker so this isnt a factor. But i am worried as there has been a history of heart attacks in my family and strokes throughout the generations and ive lost alot of people very close to me due to this. :(
My symptoms are; irregular heartbeat, slight pain/numbness in my top left hand side of my chest (the pain/numbness occurs only sometimes) and feeling dizzy.
Please could someone give me some advice?Thankyou! Helen x
