Palpitations: Could be a number of things. A good medical work up should check cardio grams, labs, esp thyroid which is very common in women. Hyperthyroidism can look like anxiety or panic. Goes with sweating, tremors, diarrhea , weight loss hair and skin changes etc. There are other things like caffeine, nicotine or stimulant effects. Beta blockers help palpitations, benzodiazepines +/- ssris help anxiety.
