A member asked:

Does decrease in lipid profile cause heart palpitations??

Dr. Harinder Gill answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Lipid, palpitations: no, and decreased cholesterol and triglyceride and LDL level is desirable, and decrease in HDL is not; none of these should influence subjective palpitations which must thus be specifically evaluated
