I'm 16 and sometimes out of nowhere my heart will start pounding and my entire body will start shaking and i can't stop it. what does it mean and what can i do about it?

Suggestions: Numerous causes of fast heart rate and palpitations exist, and may have to do with "panic reactions", or other emotional stressors. But some folks do have episodes of sudden changes in heart rhythm due congenital, metabolic, and dietary influences. You do NOT need to tolerate this on your own. See your family doctor and deal with this.
