Fairly common: Dear Sir,  I am not sure what you have been told about your adrenal gland in the past but it is sometimes common to see changes as we get older. However it could mean something if your heart continues to give you problems. It is also common to see individuals with palpitations in different positions or things that they do. Most cases this is not serious but be sure and discuss with your provider.
