Hi, you need to undergo proper cardiac checkup with ECG, 2-D ECHO, if we find any abnormality related to palpitations, treatment also given according to the problem.
There are underlying few conditions can cause palpitations
- Any rhythm abnormality like Atrial fibrillation and VPC’s
- Any valve leakage can cause palpitations.
- Can be due to blockages of grafts or new blocks in your native arteries we can find.
So better to consult nearby cardiologist to find out the cause of palpitations.
