What Causes A Sudden Onset Of Palpitations?
Question: I am concerned as I had a heart palpitation after taking a shower earlier. My heart rate seems to be normal and I had no other symptoms do I need to be concerned
Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It's most probably a benign condition as you mentioned your heart rate is normal. So most probably it's due to physical activity which you had and can also occur if you had a hot shower. So I think no need to worry especially if there is no other symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain.
Anyway you should get one ecg and hemoglobin tested on elective basis.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
