Answers: Asking because I had a heart palpitation yesterday...

Don't ask people who don't know what they are talking about, ask your doctor.

possible but not likely

My father had his first at 24, and died of one at 41. I am 28, and so far so good, but I live with that on my mind.

Its possible.

yes, but your problem could be gas or anxiety, see a doctor!

It is possible, but not probable, unless you have a congenital condition. You probably experienced more of an anxiety attack, which can feel like heart palpitations. If you are unsure, you should make an appointment with your doctor, and have it checked out.

Yes, unfortunately, especially if a) you have a family issue of heart problems and/or b) you have a unhelathy lifestyle

My sister had a stroke at 31. She went to the doctor a few days later and they told her that's what it was. I would definitely go to the doctor. Even if it isn't a heart attack, it could still be something serious.

My friend had one and died she was only 19 but she didn't take care of herself and she ate a lot of fatty foods that apparently had something to do with it but you should probably talk to a professional.
