Palpitations Causes and Symptoms

Heart Palpations

Heart palpitations are a feeling like our heart is missing heartbeats, racing or pounding. We can feel palpitations in our chest, throat or neck.

Palpitations can happen at any time, even if we are resting or doing normal activities. Although they may be startling, palpitations usually aren’t serious or harmful. However, they can sometimes be related to an abnormal heart rhythm that needs medical attention.

Heart palpitations symptoms may feel like our heart is:

·       Racing.

·       Pounding.

·       Missing a beat.

·       Having an extra beat.

·       Flip-flopping.

·       Fluttering.

Heart palpitations often go away without medical treatment if things we eat, drink or do cause them, including:

·       Smoking.

·       Drinking alcohol.

·       Drinking caffeinated beverages.

·       Eating spicy or rich food.

·       Working out too hard.

However, if we have heart disease or an abnormal heart rhythm, we may need medication, a procedure, surgery or a device to correct the issue. Again, it’s important to keep all follow-up appointments with the doctor.
