Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The palpitations felt in the heart is a conscious awareness of the increased pumping activity of heart. This is usually caused by anxiety. It can also be caused due to the problem in the heart that your girlfriend has. Since you have not mentioned the heart problem in detail, it is possible that she has valve problem or rhythm related disturbances. Such conditions can cause palpitations in her.

Since she is taking treatment for stage 2 leukemia, it is possible that her hemoglobin is less and she is also having anemia. That can cause palpitations also. It is unlikely that she is having palpitations in heart due to taking supplements as a treatment for leukemia. She can get help from doing mental relaxation exercises. Please do not worry.
