Is my Heartbeat normal? - Heart Disorders Message Board

Hello

i was wondering if anybody could help me...my average heart beat is around 120-150 just normaly and when resting about 100. also, i frequently get skipped beats followed by a pounding heart beat and my heart rate will speed up dramatically then slow down. Sometimes too, i'll get an other heart sound sorta like "lub-tri-bud-lub-tri-dub". also, when i'm just laying down or sitting, i can feel my heart beating extreamly hard plus, my heart is really loud too. Is all this nomral?

please help!

Id get checked out any heart rate over 100 is considered tachycardia (rapid heartbeat). Normal heartbeats are between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
Are you overweight? Do you smoke? Do you drink? If so quit.
The "loud" heartbeat may be a sign of high blood pressure.
Get checked out. Good luck.

i'm 14 and i'm close to being overweight, but my dr. said that that's normal cause i'm still young. My bloodpressure too is normal tho i can't say the exact numbers...and no i do not smoke or drink or do any of the sort

A heart that is under stress and beating fast, all the time, can slowly weaken and enlarge and eventually cause you major, uncomfortable health problems. You need to get your heart checked by a heart specialist (Cardiologist), to find a way to get a more healthy, safer heart beat.

I would also ask a parent to take you to a doctor to ask about having your thyroid checked.
