Palpitations scared of sudden cardiac arrest

Must be examined: to determine the exact nature of your palpitations. You will need an EKG and/or a 24 hour holter monitor to determine the nature of these issues as well as a full medical examination and evaluation.

Get checked: If you are having palpitations that cause symptoms such as faintness, weakness or shortness of breath, then you need urgent treatment. Otherwise, see a cardiologist to assess the of the nature and cause of your palpitations. This will inform you of their significance and prognosis, and arm you with a plan of action as well as realistic expectations. Hope that helps.
