ok my sister the other day was just sitting at the dinner table and all of a sudden her heart started beating really fast and she got scared...then it slowed down a bit later but its really wierd. She is 20 years old she doesn't drink or smoke and she is very healthy..she is 130 pounds i think or a little more but not over 140. Well healthy idk how healthy she is but she isnt flabby she is kinda of like a coke bottle the 20 oz. not the 2 liter lol but yeah anywayz back to the point why did this happen? why did her heart beat so fast unexpectedly? could it be stress?

She should go see a Dr,
it could be one of many things....
possibly as minor as an anxiety attack,
or as major as some type of heart defect.
It is important that she have a professional determin if it is "just stress"

It's called tacycardia, and she should see a doctor. It could be a sign of a heart condition.

your sister probably uses some type of drug.
xtc pills or mushrooms can cause this, even weed.
i wouldn't worry about it if it only happend once, but if it happens regularly, she needs to go see a cardiologist.

She should get evaluated by a Doctor, if she is healthy and has no BAD HABITS this is not normal! Peace!

she probably had a panic attack....mine did that before too ....it happend to my friend too idk when i got scared i asked my friends they said probably a panic attack and they were right thats what it was ...a panic attack is when ur heart beats really fast and then u feel like ur having a heart attack or dying mostly u feel like ur dying and then it goes back to normal ....but we all arent doc's so get her blood pressure checked too that could be it too......

sounds like a heart murmur, she needs to see a doctor to control it

she should definitely see a doctor.
Was she stressed, or nervous about something? She could have been having a panick attack.
