* Brief Answer: heart palpitations need more investigations.
*Explanation: My opinion is that feeling heart beats and irregularities is a bit of concern, causes include stress , exertion , excess caffeinated drinks . other athological causes like atrial fibrillation , heart failure etc,
I suggest my patients the following do ecg , may need a holter for 48 hrs, some labs may be needed.
