HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Palpitations can be alarming for anyone but may not necessarily indicate serious heart disease. This would have to be determined by a visit to your doctor. Your doctor would assess your pulse and blood pressure, take a listen the heart and lungs. He or she would also check for any possible signs of anemia (low blood count) or hyperthyroidism (high thyroid hormone levels) Blood tests and an ECG to take a look at the heart rhythm, would be needed as well. The blood tests would likely be a full blood count and thyroid function test. I hope this helps
