Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

You are probably: feeling a palpitation. This is usually caused by an extra or early ventricular or atrial beat. At your age it is probably nothing serious but to confirm this would involve a few cardiac tests. An echo cardiogram and a monitor to correlate symptoms with arrhythmia. Ask your health care provider to order these for you.

Dr Phelan-adams and another doctor agreed
