What Causes Heart Palpitations?

I have been having heart palpitations on an almost daily basis. Yesterday I had one so bad, it made me cough and I got a bit disoriented and couldn't talk right. I had an US done on my heart earlier this year. I do have mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild mitral regurgitation. Could my heart palpitations have anything at all to do with these daily heart palpitations even though the docs say both these regurgs are normal.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
mild regurgitation of valves are normal finding of 2d echo cardiography so palpitations are most like not caused by it in your case
palpitation is a feeling .....
it can be a normal fast heart rate(sinus tschycardia)
or dangerous fast heart rate (arrthmias)
i would like you to go for
a normal ecg
a holter(will record your beats for 24hours)
and a tread mill test as any abnormal heart beat will become evident during test

get your thyroid profile done
anxiety and smoking can also cause it so in case you r a smoker give up smoking
and try to relax nd lower anxiety levels
thank you
