Do I have heart problems pretty urgent!!?

ok ok well I’m fifteen my parents are considering taking me to the doc..ok well back when I was 10 yrs old I kept complaining of racing heart..like this one time I came back from the hospital. I wasn’t feeling sick at all. I wasn’t anxious, just a checkup. I came home and I got chest pain, like the chest pain that’s really sharp and painful. That lasted for about 15 minutes then while I was eating I started coughing up phelm, which was reddish in color (I think it was blood because I was coughing up again 40 minutes later).

So I went to bed because I started to feel weak..I woke up at 2 am in the morning shaking & sweating, again I did not have like some infection or anything I was having night sweats which I had never had until then. I was taken to have an ECG and I was given the all-clear. now, 5 years later, that got worse. I’ve been getting nightsweats almost every week now.

I’m like really relaxed, then all of a sudden, I’ll find myself sweating all over again (this time when im awake) I felt my heart throbbing in my chest, I counted my bpm and it was 120, when it is usually 90.

I tried going to sleep after this to rest my heart more but then that’s when it started to mess up, it’s hard to explain but my heart will start going out of rythm and get really unstable, like it’ll start, then stop, then start, I feel like I’m choking when this happens and feel like I’ll have a lump in my throat the pauses can last up to 5 seconds this happened when I was awake and I couldn’t speak properly and honestly felt like I was going to faint (my vision did go blurry, this was like a couple months ago.) these can get really scary and last for over an hour. My skin can go really pale, and I feel really dizzy and my fingertips are blue. At night is the worst, and I get this in my sleep. I wake up feeling extremely dizzy, shaking, dry mouth, my heart racing, and I’m sweating. I’m usually woken feeling a jolt in my chest. At worst this can happen 5 times a night, my family has a history of heart problems. My grandpa, (Arterial Filbration) my 10 year old brother, and my parents are assuming I could have something like that. Do I need to see a cardiologist about this? At first I thought it’d get better but it’s been 5 years and it’s really scaring me :( I overheard my parents saying it could be long qt syndrome, is that serious?? :(

i don’t know why you’re on here asking for professional help, when these professionals are busy playing 18 holes in malibu.

if you so smart about a heart problem, WHY DON’T YOU GO GET IT CHECK…..

DUUHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    You should get checked out for the fast heart rate. It could be a form of an arrhythmia causing tachycardi Now, when I first read ‘nightswaets’ I though back to all teh books I ve read on leukemia and nightsweta, dizziness..etc. But dont get freaked out! Im in now ay saying you have this..but’s its unusual to have nightsweats related to heart conditions.

    Now,for the blue finger tips..dizziness, and paleness, those are signs of heart failure. Please do get checked out soon! Get an EKG, echocardiogram and holter monitor test(24 or 48 hour portable EKG to diagnose heart rhythm abnormalities). Oh and excessive sweating combined with the other symptoms is a definite sign of a heart defect or condition/disease.
