A member asked:

If your blood work came back normal and you still have palpitation is it ok or harmless?

Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

There are not very: many blood tests that will define harmful or harmless palpitations. Severe electrolyte abnormalities might be a clue but otherwise you need electrocardiographic evaluation to determine the nature and danger associated with your palpitations.
