What Causes Palpitations When Under Severe Stress?
Hi, for the last couple of days I ve been really tensed with work and personal life and since then I think more about it, it feels like I could hear my heart beating. Very uneasy feeling... and now it is very constant. I checked my BP as well, which seems to be ok. Not sure how to deal with this as I am going through a lot these days.

Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern. Palpitations could be a complain if there is too much of stress or one of the below mentioned conditions 1-Thyroid disorders 2-Anaemia 3-Stress/Panic attack 4-Anxiety 5-Cardiac conditions(ischaemia/angina) 6-Blood sugar imbalance
Adv-To do some blood investigations- 1-Thyroid function test 2-Blood sugar levels-Fasting and post meals 3-Haemogram 4-ECG
Follow up with these reports to a local physician. If reports are normal then it is more likely to be related to stress only then meditation,yoga,Breathing exercises and anti anxiety medications might be required.
