What Causes Frequent Palpitations In Heart?

Hi, I have been getting heart palpitations quite frequently and sometimes very strongly! I have had them in the past and have have worn a heart monitor for 24 hours but it didn t occur when I was wearing it and therefore results were inconclusive! Should I see my GP...should I be concerned? (I am a 57 the old female, I don t smoke, and drink only 3 or 4 units per week...I also exercise regularly and eat healthily!

Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

you had 24 monitoring of your heart for this condition and although results were inclusive , it doesn't mean that everything is okay.

there are some important things which lead to Palpitations ;

First of all, usually palpitations are not harmful .'
in many instances palpitations are associated with life style like

Stress
anxiety
consumption of stimulants like caffiene and
they also do occur when work load on body is increased as in pregnancy.

first you should look for these factors And you just need life style modifications and stress management ...


if condition remains the same

then

there are also some conditions associated with palpitations
like
thyroid diseases,
anxiety,
anemia etc
for which you need to visit physician for detailed history and clinical evaluation

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
