Im 19 yrs old and last year i found out thru my physician that i suffer from heart palpitations
ive always been a nervous person even since i was a child and everytime i went to my physician thats what my mother would blame my fast heart beat on.
so ive never been analyzed further until last yr my physician asked about it and i told her im always like that and she explained how my heart is too fast and its working way too hard.
i was sent to see a cardiologist & started taking meds to see if they helped
well ive stopped taking the meds and i no longer have insurance hence i cant continue seeing my physician and i never found out what the source of my condition is
can someone please explain to me a little more about heart palpitations and if they can be dangerous?
Answer:
It depends on the cause and exactly what rhythm is causing your palpitations. Most people have some form of palpitations; very few are perilous. Most of the time they never find the cause; the medications are very successful in treating them. There should be a free clinic in your city where you can go to be diagnosed, along with some place you can get free meds.

Mine started in my early 20's. Average heart rate for 10 years was 213 beats a min. My heart would pound so hard, you could see it. 2 surgeries didn't help.

Answer:
No. I’ve hyperthyroidism and thus get palpitations. They're rather common and relatively harmless, though uncomfortable. It's sort of like a heart hiccup, it just pumps a little differently for a short while.
It might be prudent to see the cause of it though, just in case it's a sign of something that needs treatment.
