A member asked:

Is it likely for a 15 year-old to have a heart palpitation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it can happen: Yes they can be from stress, drugs, too much caffeine, alcohol. A short circuit in the heart or even a birth defect in the hearts metabolism (brugada syndrome). If they persist go see a doctor.
