DEAR FRIEND THESE ARE THE SIGNS WE CALLED AS PALPITATION MAY BE DUE TO EXCESS STIMULATION OF SYMPATHETIC FLOW SOME TIMES IN CASE OF HEART BURN OR ACIDITY OR GASTRIC REGURGITATION OR NAUSEA,,, SO IN THIS CASE YOU MAY EXPERIENCE THESE SYMPTOMS.... THIS IS NOT LOOKS LIKE HEART ATTACK... IN HEART PROBLEM YOU MAY HAVE INTENSE CRUSHING TYPE OF CHEST PAIN... IT MAY RADIATE TO LEFT OR RIGHT ARM MAY BE JAY OR BACK OF YOUR SHOULDER BLADE.. SO NO NEED OF WORRY... DO SOME BREATHING EXERCISES OR PRANAYAMA DAILY BEFORE GOING FOR BED... AVOID SPICY AND FRIED FOOD IN DINNER. TAKE YOUR DINNER EARLY MAY BE AT 8:00PM. SO DIGESTION MAY BE PROPER..
I WISH YOU SATISFIED WITH MY ANSWER STILL IF MORE QUERY YOU FEEL FREE TO ASK...
