Hello,
Most of the times, these palpitations are benign and not worrisome. Mostly these are due to anxiety, low hemoglobin, hyperthyroidism etc. So you should get your ecg done, hemoglobin, thyroid levels tested.
Till then you can get prescribed Tab Ciplar LA 20 mg once a day, from local doctor which will take care of palpitations.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
