But afterwards i get kinda weak and and my hands feel shaky and sometimes during it i get kinda like a hot flash all through my body and it feels like i am nervous in my stomach when it happens!!! I dont know if its cause it scares me so bad or if its cause of the palpitations? Can you help me?

Hi You can be having altered rythms or arrhythmias due to fast heart rate. It is better to get a cardiac evaluation done, ECG and echo cardiogram or rule out for any problems with the heart valves. Kindly check out with your electrolyte, haemoglobin, thyroid levels . Avoid medications like bronchodilators. All the best. Take care.
