A: Hi Shawn,You are describing the typical signs and symptoms of depression. I am pleased to note that you are working out but at this point there is no balance in your workout and life plan. You are in crises presently. You are likely to remain like this unless you talk with someone whom you trust.Could you please eat as part of your everyday activity. I know it will be boring as you have no appetite. After a crises, people who get help come out better. People who do not get help come out worse. Therefore, my advice is for you to seek professional help or seek out a close friend.You may want to read this article.

A: It depends on the cause and exactly what rhythm is causing your palpitations. Most people have some form of palpitations; very few are dangerous. Most of the time they never find the cause; the medications are very successful in treating them. There should be a free clinic in your city where you can go to be diagnosed, along with some place you can get free meds.

out of shape and just started going to gym but scared how fast heart is beating?

Q: today was my first day at the gym. i did the elliptical for 30 minutes and my heart rate at one point was 179 bpm! i thought target heartrate during exercise was supposed to be like 140 or something. is this dangerous? i am a 23 yr old female, 170 lbs.

A: If you have a fast heart rate it could just be because you are out of shape. Once you keep working out and get into a routine then it should slow down. It could also be a health condition though. You should see your doctor and get a physical exam before you continue working out.
