I'm an 18 year old male, 143 pounds, that recently decided to start running. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I run 1 mile as hard as i possibly can. I keep a fast steady pace the whole run and then kick it the last 100 yards or so. Of the 9 days I have ran, i have gotten my heart rate to 210bpm, 216bpm, 204bpm, and finally tonight, 241bpm!!! All these numbers were taken seconds after I crossed the finish line, and they were all double and triple checked. I feel great and within 10 to 15 minutes, I am back to my resting heart rate.
I'm not really all that worried, but I'm also not a fitness expert. If someone can tell me if being able to make your heart beat 241 times in a minute is awesome or dangerous, I would really be thankful.

I feel my heart skipping beats in the bottom of my throat (where the dip is). It started when I was 19. I am now 24. It comes and goes. I will get it all day everyday for like two weeks to a month, then I won't get it again for months to a year. It doesn't hurt, it just feels like my heart skips a beat then it double beats to catch up. A couple years ago I went to the ER and they hooked me up to a ECG, or a EKG. I can't remember, but it said my heart was fine. However, while at the hospital my heart didn't flutter. I'm scared it will stop. I have no insurance so I can't go to the doctors. If it gets worse, I will go back to the ER. Please tell me your thoughts or if you have ever experienced thus before. Thank you. Also, I do take Zoloft 50 mg everyday once a day.
Your body is killing itself.
I mean diseases that make the patients so weak that they can't walk too much, they have to be careful with every move, they have to spend most of their time in bed or sitting, they can't eat certain things, etc...I'm curious about the kind of diseases that don't allow people to live a life like the others.
Hi, my dad, 55y, was recently diagnosed with heart dysfunction. He gets cough when he sleep. This cough is not continuous but it will happen time to time throughout the time he sleeps (or lays flat). His feet are a little swollen. Recently we came to know he is diabetic. The 2D echo shows his LV functions 20%. Doctors has advised him for angiogram. He is quiet well now, but we dont want go through angiograpy. Is there any way to treat his respiration-cum-cough problem?? 
Hi 
i got all the tests done for my heart is this stress or anxiety?
The resting neuron:
I'm 17 and my heart rate is never under 100 bpm. I take my heart rate when I wake up in the morning and it's always so high. I'm not out out shape and I am a healthy weight. Also, when I go to the doctor, they always say I have a lower than average blood pressure. Why is my heart rate so high, and how can I fix it?
Hello,
Any complications ? What is the healing time ? Any info is appreciated. Thank you
OK, some background info, I took an EKG class and was certified about 2 years ago, but my memory sucks lately so I can't remember all of it because I could not find a job and therefore could not use the skills I learned from the class. Through that class I learned I have a Sinus Arrhythmia, which I know is not life threatening but it would have been nice of my previous doctors to tell me because I have had EKGs done and even surgery and child birth in the past and they never told me I had anything weird with my heart.
I feel stupid because I am only 23 years old, but ever since I started suffering with panic attacks and anxiety last year, I've constantly worried about getting a heart attack. During my panic attacks, I was advised to go to hospital where I had tests done, which included an ECG, Echocardiogram (which is a scan of my heart, to which the nurse told me that my heart looked great), and I also had a heart monitor attached to my chest for 3 days, so the hospital could monitor my heart beat for any irregularity. The results came back fine, so In theory I shouldn't be worrying, but I still do worry about it. Especially when I hear about young people suffering from "sudden death" and heart failure at young ages. 
i am an 18 year old male, and i recently went to the doctor to check up on some slight nausea issues i have been having. I've had them for years, but it was always diagnosed as anxiety or acid reflux, or even H. Pylori (which i did in fact have). During this visit, the doctor told me i had a heart murmur, and had me take an EKG and chest x-ray. The chest x-ray came back negative (i dont know what that means) but the EKG showed that i had a slight enlargement of my heart, which i think is called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Im going in for an echo-cardiogram on the 13th, but i have a few questions. Can my heart problems be linked to my stomach issues? also, a lot of times when i sit down, i can feel my heart beating in my head and i can even hear it. Is this a symptom, or am i just crazy? Also i would like to give my best wishes out to everyone else on these boards (and everywhere for that matter) who are suffering from any type of heart disease. Thanks : D
