Hi,

The palpitations you are telling looks like a abnormal heart rhythm.

Have you done a ECG at the time of palpitations. If yes, then that would be of great help in the diagnosis. Kindly send me that ECG.

If no, I'll advice you to get a 24 hr Holter monitoring done to detect this arrhythmia.

For such patients we generally advice to start on Tab Diltiazem.

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