What Causes Erratic Beating Of Heart?

My heart was beating erratically in my chest that it was moving my chest on it's own and my throat started to feel like it was tightening. This lasted about fifteen minutes. I'd like to Know what that is. I'm fourteen and I have high blood pressure as well.

Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Palpitation in your case could be due to elevated blood pressure or anxiety or any cardiac rhythm abnormality.

I advise you to consult a physician and get yourself worked up for these conditions. You may need few tests like BP measurement, ECG, 2d Echo, holter study or any other tests to rule out these conditions.

In the mean while I suggest you not to take any stress and avoid situations that cause your symptoms.
