The question
Dear TeenHealthFX,
Recently Iâve been experiencing a weird heart sensation almost like my heart is jumping, Iâve experienced this before but it never persisted for 5 days straight,. Itâs gotten to the point where itâs waking me up at night, and itâs making it uncomfortable to sleep. Iâm worried it might be something serious,I just turned 15 . Any idea on what this could be ? Or if itâs potentially dangerous?

Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose over the internet. We strongly suggest you talk to a parent or trusted adult and let them know what you are experiencing. Then, you need to make an appointment with your healthcare provider. Only they can diagnose and treat, if necessary. If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
