Randomly racing pulse
I'm 20/f, and I dunno if it's like, a hormonal issue (that time of month...), that I'm becoming anemic, or something, but since I ran a mile today, my heart rate has been randomly speeding up and slowing down.
It feels like I'm constantly nervous about something, but there's nothing to be nervous about.
My heartbeat wasn't erratic in any way during my run, it was steady as it always is. I started feeling odd before work, and actually calculated my pulse as 102 bpm a couple of times, which is ridiculously high for me. Normally, it's 78 or so.
I was standing in place when I did the calculation.
Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but my left leg has been killing me for the past two days, somewhere in or around my hip. I had a stress fracture, but I think it's okay now, which is why I went running.
But this whole heartbeat thing is really freaking me out. I know, "stop freaking out, because when you freak out, your heart rate goes up." Got that covered. What could be causing this?
I know no one's a doctor, I'm just looking for nonmedical ideas, unless you think it could be a medical problem. Has anyone had experience with something like this, or...?

Heart palpitations are usually not
harmful, but you should get it checked
out by a doctor to be on the safe side.
You mentioned you are recovering from
a stress fracture. If it has been a
while since you've ran, you may have
overdone it first time back out.
Having an overactive thyroid can also
cause heart palpitations.
Here is a good site for you to look at.
I will also include a search that will
take you to more information should
you care to look. :)

Immediately I think of anemia or an anxiety disorder. Both can be treated... Controlled. And neither, in my mind anyway, are considered life altering. (I've had both.)
Or... It could be some sort of medical fluke. Those happen too, even to me. I would say that if the sensation persists for an extended period of time, or if it happens again, make an appointment with your family physician.

Hi,
My names leona. Im 14 so it might be a different issue but i had the same problem 3 years ago. It got to the point where i was dizzy & blacking out from such a fast heartbeat for 10 minuites straight, so my mom took me to the doctor & they did a ton of tests & decided i had a heart condition. Im not sure of the name anymore but ill check on it & edit my answer when i know it.
After medication didnt work, i finally got surgery 2 years ago. I got the surgery because the doctor said it could be very dangerous when i started driving, since somtimes you cant pull over & if you dont stop the quick heartbeats it can lead to fainting.
Im not saying you have the same thing, but definately go to the doctor & check it out if it continues. I only went to the doctor because i started getting these quick heartbeats daily.
Im pretty sure the doctor said leg pain might come with it, & somtimes it went as fast as 120 beats per minuite from just sitting down.
Anyway the point of this long story is please get it checked out & make sure it isnt dangeorus. Any questions, please inbox me.
=) im glad your geting it checked out by a doctor! Let me know how it goes
