Hi I m a 27 year old female. Since February of this year I have been getting heart palpitations. I had a chest infection in February and that s when I first started noticing them. I was on a night out with my friends and had a lot to drink and that s when I first started to get them that night. I didn t go to the doctor for four weeks for my chest infection as I thought it was just a coughs that would clear up. My doctor gave me antibiotics for my chest infection and it cleared up and the palpitations went away. I forgot to tell my doctor about the palpitations at the appointment. This summer I started to get them again, very faintly and not every day. I went for a heart screening ran by CRY and the ecg came out fine. However last week I was at my friends Engagment party and I had again quite a lot to drink and the next day my heart was going crazy. I felt them really strongly and it was very frightening. They died down the following day but I am still getting them this week, I sometimes feel a heavyness on my chest and a lump in my throat. I have an appointment with my doctor for September 12th but I m wondering should I try and get an appointment sooner as I m not sure if this is dangerous for my health. The only medication I am on is Microgynon and I go to the gym three times a week so I would concider myself quite fit
