An abnormal awareness of heart beat or palpitation may arise from abnormal heart rhythms, illnesses affecting the heart as a bystander or commonly from no real illness at all. It is good news that the tests already done have found no reason for symptoms. However, many times a problem of heart rhythm is not discovered until long term monitoring is performed. In my experience, two approaches are needed for success,
1. coordination with your physician to be sure that no additional testing is warranted. This is for reassurance.
2. Arrange for guided exercise, beginning slowly with walking and light resistance. Your guide may be an exercise physiologist, a member of an exercise facility or simply the advice of your doctor or his associate.
