Palpitation treat: Treatments include not using caffeine, alcohol , street drugs, smoking and other stimulant substances. Try to learn meditation and other calming techniques, cut out herbal substances, cough and cold medicines, nutritional supplements, see your doctor to be sure no direct heart problem and for treatment if the basics above don't help.

Not sure what I'm feeling with my heart. Once in a while when working out, I'll feel a flutter or two in my chest. But maybe it's a palpitation. Feels like it beats REALLY hard for a single beat. Arrhythmia runs in my family. Should I be concerned?
