A bit strange: Likely benign at your age, but i'd have u see your internist or a cardiologist. A 14 day event recorder might solve that pulse issue. Could anxiety play a part here? That'd need to b worked out. I wonder about your diet: see our website = www.Thepmc.Org re what that should be. My book might help"maximum healing.".
