Hi

Thanks for asking.

Palpitations as such can be the marker of the heart problems, more so if they are associated with the breathless and chest pain.

In your case, it can be because of stress or there can be some underlying cardiac problem , get your self checked as soon as possible.

Also thyroid problems can also lead to palpitations , get the thyroid level assessed as well.

Thanks.
