The strangest thing is it happens even when I'm just sitting doing nothing. I don't know if it is just a random thing that's happening but I was wondering if I should see the doctors about it. I don't want to because as I said I'm only 16 and amn't fat so I can't imagine that it's anything of remote seriousness. Just wondering if it happens to other people though and what you would do in my situation?

I hate to go on about this but, see a doctor, I had pains in my stomach once and thought they were nothing later on I collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital to have my appendix out.
I dont mean to scare you but see a doctor!

I don't smoke, drink caffeine unless in coke or whatever which I haven't drink since pizza hut on saturday and I never use illegal drugs. They are recurring though. It must be something else though because those aren't the causes. Probably something a lot more common, making something out of nothing and all that.

Is it a sharp pain, or a dull ache?
I've feel my heart 'skip' a beat quite often, I've discovered this is when your heart pumps with no blood in it. Rather disconcerting.
I worry about going to doctors though, in case they tell me something awful, and instead I'm trying to slowly regain my fitness by gradually increasing training sessions.
I'm sure this is completely unrelated to your problem though.

Yeah, but if it's started happening regularly then go and see your doctor - better to be safe than sorry.
"Do you ever feel like your heart skips a beat? It feels awful and you wonder if something is wrong with your heart. There are actually many different reasons for this. When it feels like your heart skips a beat or starts to beat differently, this is called a palpitation or arrhythmia. Some arrhythmias are a temporary adjustment of the heartbeat. Other causes are more serious.
Symptoms include but are not limited to:
-rapid or irregular heart beats
-skipping beats
-fainting
-dizziness
-a feeling like the heart is jumping out of the chest
-shortness of breath
Avoiding stimulants such as nicotine, illegal drugs and caffeine, may alleviate your palpitations. Further investigation by your doctor is suggested if palpitations are recurrent and/or if you have symptoms mentioned above."
