What causes frequent heart palpitations with rapid heart beats?
Patient: ive been having heart palpitations quite frequently recently, ive been losing breath and feeling really dizzy and shakey. my heart beat seems to be fast most of the time and im really worried about it, i do smoke and i also smoke weed alot, and drink a lot, im only 18 but is it possible for something to be really bad? theres also heart problems in my family Doctor: Hi,  You are having an arrhythmia. You should avoid all stimulants as weeds, smoking, alcohol, tea, coffee, herbal products. These things are not good in 18 years old. As you are also in high-risk family history, please be careful, also undergo ECG at the least. Please do not stress your body, take plenty of sleep and well-nourished diet.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
