Holter monitor : Consult your cardiologist or primary care doctor but a holter monitor will give information the doctor that an ekg can't.

See your doctor.: At your age you are unlikely to have a serious heart problem. A 24 hour holter monitor may help identify any abnormal heart beats. If the symptoms are very infrequent an event monitor may be able to clarify the issue. If symptoms are present when the monitor reveals normal rhythm, anxiety may be the cause. Are you using drugs? Do you drink excessive caffeinated drinks? A doctor's visit will help.
