I have palpitations how can i solve this
Apr 5, 2013

Dr. Ziad Mansour Thoracic Surgery
Palpitations might be primary (the heart is causing its fast heart rate), or secondary (the heart is beating fast due to a non-cardiac stimulus, like stress, hyperthyroidism, stimulant intake, or other).

You should have a blood test and an electrocardiogram, and afterwards you might need a holter-EKG (a 24-hour electrocardiogram).
Treatment will be adapted to the final diagnosis.

Dr. Beatrice Khater Family Medicine
Many reasons can cause palpitations, agree with Dr Mansour. A doctor will be able to ask for the pertinent tests after examining you.
