I am an 18-year-old girl who is having heart palpitations and feeling like my heart is fluttering along with feeling liquid in my chest, going down, and it feels like my heart squeezing when Im not anxious and just laying down is this normal?
Not sure what I'm feeling with my heart. Once in a while when working out, I'll feel a flutter or two in my chest. But maybe it's a palpitation. Feels like it beats REALLY hard for a single beat. Arrhythmia runs in my family. Should I be concerned?
