[MadiBogden]

Okay. I'm 17 years old, 118 lbs. I'm 5'6 and active. I am having some heart problems I believe and I need to know what to do Asap and what it could be. So my symptoms consists of: fainting when getting up to a standing position (I have a little increase of heart rate and blood pressure but not significant HR: 120's while standing) feelings of heart beat stopping then starting, extreme heat intolerance. I take a hot bath and my heart rate goes up to 180 most times and I feel quite dizzy, short of breath, shaky. I get very tired during exercise. I can hear my heart beat in my ears during exercise and get very short of breath. (I have asthma also, but controlled, and sob not from asthma) I need to know what this could be immediantly. Thank you

Have you spoken to your doctor about any of this?

Just out of curiosity, why do you need answers 'immediately'?

You really need to be seen by a cardiologist to be properly evaluated but it sounds like you have low blood pressure issues.   This can be caused by lifestyle issues like not being hydrated enough, not having enough sodium in your diet or not eating enough.  It could also be due to a condition called dysautonomia or even just electrolyte imbalances.  But you need a doctor to evaluate you to see what is going on.  I suggest drinking lots of water and getting up more slowly as well try to not take such hot showers if at all possible and see if things improve.  Take care and feel better soon.
