Hi and thanks for the query,
I am afraid slender tone belts have no direct bearing on the heart to cause palpitations.
In course of their use, simply due to an increase in the metabolic rate, its but normal that adrenaline is produced which increases heart rate. If the increase in heart rate gives a conscious perception of heart beat or considered abnormal (palpitations), its important to have a normal cardiologic evaluation to exclude other common causes of palpitations.
I suggest you XXXXXXX a cardiologist for an electrocardiogramme, cardiac ultrasound and a sound clinical evaluation.
Thanks and best regards,

hi and thanks for the query,
Moderate or severe anemia can lead to palpitations. Its a well scientifically documented symptom in moderate to severe anemia. The answer is YES.
