Should I be worried about heart palpitations while running?

Answer by  worker3742 (208)

That is a tough one. The heart does take on more work when your running. I would go to a doctor first and see if its ok to run at all.

Absolutely, yet. This is not normal, and I would consult your doctor immediately, and cease running until you find out what exactly the problem is, as it could be serious.

Heart beat irregularities may be a sign of serious problems. You should certainly speak with your doctor and follow their advice.

This is a warning sign that something is going on inside. Take this sign and see your doctor so he can run a EKG. Either your running to hard, to fast or to long or there is an underlying problem that has started. Your age can be a factor, as well as your weight.

You should be very concerned if you are having heart palpitations while you run. You should go to your doctor for a complete physical as soon as possible. The doctor can perform a stress test to give you advice on how much exercise you should be doing. Work with the doctor for a fitness program that works for you.
