Im 13 and I dont have any heart problems in my family tree but for some reason my heart beats hard even when I haveint done anything. I cant feel it but I can fell it when I touch my chest. It doesnt skip or give extra beats but its just making me nervous.
P.S it doesnt hurt either. And there is no other symptoms while it happens, not short of breath or anything like that. Could this also have anything to do with puberty or being over weight?

Being overweight can certainly play a part in your heart beating so fast because of the extra fat against the heart muscle and lungs.The fact that you are not short of breath or experiencing chest pains during these episodes is a good sign. But to play it safe you NEED to see your doctor to be examined.

if it is beating fast you could be having runs of something called SVT. supraventrcular tachycardia. you should go to your pediatrician and have an ekg and possibly wear a holter monitor. a gadget that records the electrical signal your heart puts out for 24 hours. you push a button when you feel the sensation and they can check what is happening at that point. it could also be anxiety causing this, but it is worth getting looked at.

If your worried have a parent take you to a doctor. one word of advice for you if you happen to be over weight then you may want to try to lose weight before it gets too hard to lose it when your older. over weight people can have diabetes heart attack high blood pressure and more good luck hope i helped

Weight doesn't help, but lay off the caffeine- chocolate, Coke, tea, etc.
