                        Hi!  A racing heart is rather frightening and I totally understand what you're going through since I once suffered the same thing.  My symptoms began when I was 10 yrs. old and am now almost 50!  Finally, about 10 years ago I was diagnosed with SVT (severe ventricular tachycardia) and have since had a procedure to eliminate the "problem".  Even though my pulse would get to almost 300 at times it never restricted my activities.  However, I was (and still am) very healthy otherwise.  You may want to try to eliminate caffiene and/or any other stimulants from you diet for a start.  I have much more info I could share with you but don't want to bore you.   Good luck!  PAM
