Suggest Cure For Heart Palpitations

HI I ve been having heart palpitations for 2 days - they are constant throughout the day. I don t have any caffeine in my diet, do not take any drugs or medications, do not have a very stressful job. Is this cause for concern? When should I see my doctor?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that your symptoms could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, I would recommend performing a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound.

Some blood lab tests are necessary too (complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction, blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalance).

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
