Question 1

is there any way i can prevent heart palpitations during exercise?

Probably normal: As the hr increases with exercise, it is expected that most people will be aware of it. This is not a problem. However, while exercising, if you suddenly become aware of a unusually rapid heart beat (as is a switch was suddenly turned on), the that should be checked out. A treadmill stress test or a monitor worn while exercising would provide the answer. These are usually not life-threatening.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Palpitations: To determine whether you're experiencing abnormal cardiac rhythm during those palpitations, either an EKG or an outpatient heart monitoring would have to capture the heart rhythm during the symptoms. Since the symptoms may occur with exercise, I advise consulting a cardiologist for a heart examination and a treadmill stress test for peace of mind.

Accepted Answer

See a DR: Heart palpitations at any time are worth seeing a DR for. There are a variety of tests that can rule out heart problems esp arrythmias. These include a baseline EKG, holter monitor, and blood tests.

Question 10

can exercise help ease heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause!: Regular exercise decreases circulating catecholamines, which increase the risk of common palpitations.  But there are some types, where exercise should pose a danger.  I would recommend a hoter monitor test to decide if it is a pat vs pvc!
