[|Human|] Hi I am 22 years old and have noticed I get palpitations that I can feel in my throat they almost start making me cough.  I have gotten blood work done and also an EKG I am very healthy and everything comes back fine. Could you tell me why I am getting these?
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You should not worry, its nothing serious. As you describe, my opinion is that we are talking about extrasistoles.These is electrical impulses that generates from different parts of the heart different from that of a normal sinus rhythm. This houses an ectopic heart beat that you feel like a skipped beat or as a palpitation. There are different reasons that may generate extrasistoles. From simple emotional stress to anemia, hyperthyroidism etc. If you tell me that you have done your blood analysis than we have excluded anemia. I will recommend you to sample your thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism may cause extrasistolic beats. And of course a holder monitoring. Your electrocardiogram might be normal because extrasistoles are random but a holder monitoring gives a full monitoring of 24 hours to see your rhythm tendency. At mean time avoid coffee and caffeine products because they exacerbate your symptoms. My opinion is that you should not worry. Sometimes only a simple stress can house this extrasistoles and in young age this are quite normal. I hope I was helpful. Take care and wish you good health.
