General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
i can understand your concern. feeling ones own heart beat racing ie palpitations is a normal thing everyone experiences during stress. it comes back to normal within a few minutes. this is a normal thing and you need not worry about it.
if it leaves you dizzy or is not controlled, i would suggest you to get an ecg and a consultation with a doctor. ecg will give us info about any rythm abnormalities.

for stress, try meditation and breathing exercises. exercise for atleast half hr every day for 5 days a week. exercise is one of the best stress busters. if these fail i would advise you to consult a psychologist for behavioral therapy.

hope this helps. have a nice day
