Hello doctor,
I am 14 years old this year. From the middle of the last Thursday night, March 18, 2021, I felt my heart beat rapidly, sometimes feeling chest tightness. Once, I also had numbness in my right leg, slight dizziness. Sometimes, I still have a stomachache, I can't focus on things like before, but I'm a bit distracted, my head is empty. I went to the doctor and the results were normal. However, when I got home, I still felt the same way. I'm a happy, optimistic person, but I don't understand why these past few days I keep worrying about something for no reason, I sit and relax (listening to music, watching movies,...) but still feel anxiety, restlessness. The doctor asked me what are the signs of chest pain, rapid heartbeat, numbness in the legs and dizziness? Why is that and how to fix it? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
To the question "What is the sign of chest pain, heart palpitations with numbness in the legs and dizziness?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
For your case, the symptoms of restlessness, anxiety, chest tightness... usually due to tachycardia. Your child should see a cardiologist to determine the cause, because there are many causes of heart palpitations. When you go to the doctor, you should bring all old records and previous tests for the doctor to see and reevaluate.
If your child still has questions about symptoms of chest tightness, continuous heart palpitations with numbness in the legs and dizziness, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. I wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
