Hi,
Palpitations not necessarily mean that your heart is working harder. Palpitations are a type of arythmia caused by many factors. Arythmia is a distortion of the nomal heart activity but does not mean that it is working more efficiently. On the contrary!
Therefore, you could have palpitations and low blood pressure at the same time.
Palpitations ate triggered by many factors including alcohol and coffee consumption, stress and anxiety, anemia, low blood pressue, etc. Please try to avoid substance use and check what happens with your palpitations!
