No: No. Your holter said average 54 bpm, that means sometimes it was higher, sometimes it was lower. If your heart rate is 48 BPM and you have no symptoms like fainting or light headedness, it sounds like you have a young healthy heart. Congratulations.

I was dxd with an arythmia when I was in my early 20s via EKG. I recently wore a Holter monitor for resurgence of palpitations, results were normal. They come and go, but it feels very bad. Took my pulse and felt it skipping a beat. Should I worry?

When are palpitations dangerous? I've had over 100 ecg tests. 2x echo tests. 2x 24 hour holter monitor. All normal. Dr says I only have ectopic beats. Never had longer monitor. Palpitations feel strong recently. Can these kill me?
