Ok: Heart disease is a very broad term. Ischemic heart disease: for someone your age It is basically impossible to have it since the pathophysiology requires years to evolve. Hypertensive heart disease: you have to suffer from hypertension and also requires time to progress. If you had palpitations while exercising, I would recommend an outpt monitor to see if your palps are related to arrhythmias

Woke up, went outside for a smoke, felt heart flutters and then fainted. Went to doc and EKG is normal. Could the issue be head related?

I am young. Once I was playing soccer and felt few flutters. Have had ecg before. Doc not concerned. Is this common in otherwise healthy population?
