Hello,
I woukd suggest that you get an EKG and exam by your dcotr to assure everything is ok.
Do you have any other symptoms, chest pain?
Palpitations are often not serious. However, it depends on whether or not the sensations represent an abnormal heart rhythm (called an arrhythmia). You are more likely to have an abnormal heart rhythm if you have:
* Known heart disease at the time the palpitations begin
* Significant risk factors for heart disease
* An abnormal heart valve
* An electrolyte abnormality -- for example, low potassium
Check with your doctor, let me know if you have any other questions.
