Go c ur doc on a: day that it's acting up or go in and describe your symptoms.U will likely be given a 24 hour holder monitor or an event recorder.You wear these devices home and push a button when the heart starts to speed up.A recording is made for the doc to analyze.A cardiologist specializes in this condition.Go get seen.These "palpitations"may not cause you any harm but it's best to capture them for the doc 2c
