A member asked:

I am having heart beat feeling in my stomach right now. i am wearing a heart monitor to check for arithmeia. i have had svt. it is worse when tense?

Wait for results: Frequently palpitations are not related to abnormal rhythms even if you have had those rhythms before. You need to correlate the palpitations with what is found on the monitor, and then a decision can be made about treatment.

Mom, 68, wore heart monitor and was determined she has arrhythmia. Heart palps were 1st indication, as she felt them going up from stomach to throat. This came sudden, no prior heart issue. Could it be her deathly fear of covid cause this issue?
