its a anxiety disorder, I've learned to love the adrenaline shot..
I know because the same thing happens to me, i used to worry
I went to the doctor they put on anti-depressant/anti-anxiety meds.They sucked worse than the disorder, so i learned to live with it, however the prolonged rapid hard heart beat does rattle me sometimes..
I'm a 25 yr old male.

Well, it sounds more like an anxiety attack or panic attack if this happens mostly during times of excitement.
You are young (24) but, it still doesn't exclude certain conditions such as arrhythmia's(irregular heart beats), thyroid disorders, congenital heart disease etc etc.
There are still some further questions to be answered like .....do you get up at night with these palpitations? Do you 'pass out' or feel dizzy often? Do you have weight loss, diarrhea, fine tremors of hands, intolerance to heat mor than others, Do you have chest pain? Do you have family history of heart conditions?
Your doc will most likely ask you these Q's and do basic EKG and blood work for thyroid.
But, sounds more like a anxiety disorder to me right now.
Good luk

what you are describing is heart palpitations, I have MVP (mitral valve prolapse) is is very common. but stress Can cause me to have these strong palpitations and nothing has to set it off. but if you are describing that this happens during a movie etc. yes that is an adrenaline rush, that is why we like scary suspenseful movies and sports. but if you just get these out of the blue and you have a family history of heart disease it wouldn't hurt to have a cardiac work-up. you are probably fine. but if you experience heaviness in the chest shortness of breath then you need to be seen by a doctor, it is better to have a false alarm then to ignore a possible heart condition but I think by what you wrote that is pure excitement.

it could be high blood pressure. sometimes anxtiety and excitement can trigger heart palpatations in someone that has high blood pressure or cholesterol. If you are overweight it could be a sign of more seroius condition. but if you have drank a lot of coffee, or caffeine it can do this too.Anxiety can be be hightened by coffee and caffeine. A racing heartbeat can also be a sign of a thyroid condition or other illness.
