Hi guys,
I'm a 21 year old transportation design student, which means I'm sitting at my drawing table loooong hours at a time, working on designs that take forever to flesh out and so on.
Now, over the past year or two, I've experienced these sudden changes in my heart rate out of the blue. Usually, I'm not doing anything- just sitting there on my table, or laying in bed- reading. When this happens, my vision blurs a bit, and i struggle to breathe. My heart beats hard to the point where i can really feel it in my chest as if i've run miles and miles (doesn't hurt, and there is no warning) a few times, and then returns to normal.
Now, I post this today, because normally it happens for about a second. Two at most- and then everything's normal. However, while rendering some designs tonight in bed, it happened again, but stayed around for more then a few seconds. I began to really freak out and could barely breathe. No pain. And then everything was normal. A few seconds later, it happened again.
What could this possibly be? i've been googling it for hours, and all i've found are reports on this occurance in young healthy males, but no actual solutions?
I'd really appreciate any help- as the lack of health insurance and an increasing debt in student loans keeps me away from a doctor :-(.
