Hi,
Stress you are going through, is the main problem that is leading you with palpitations. Try measures to reduce extra stress and avoid stimulants like alcohol, coffee etc, it will help a lot.
Propanolol will help you with it, and may need you to continue over long period.

Regarding your question, when should you bother that palpitations are bad. There is a simple rule: DIZZINESS, CHEST PAIN, BREATHLESSNESS, if there is any one of these associated with palpitation, its better to get medical advice, for all the other just relax.

Regards
