What Can I Do For My Heart Palpitation As Heart Rhythms Vary?
I m a 63 year old female. I have had heart palpitations since I was in my early 30 s. Over the last few years I have been having heart episodes where my heart starts to beat rapidly then slows down then repeats. It last about an hour to an hour and a half. I ve been to the emergency room three times and it always stops before they can do an EKG. My doctor recently told me it was heart palpitations but it is so not. What can this strange heart thing be?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you must be having palpitation but this may not be due to any heart disease some time this can be happens without any specific reason or some time this may be due to emotional stress and this is nothing to worry, if you have not done the ECHO test then this need to be done, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
