Palpitation Sx: Palpitations are an awareness of extra heartbeats which most of us have. The sensation can be single or multiple and can sometimes last minutes. Different people may feel other symptoms along with them such as dizzy, lightheaded or short of breath. The palpitations are almost always atrial or ventricular premature beats. Usually benign but they are also found with abnormal hearts.

I keep feeling this odd sensation in my collarbone area on the left side, around the armpit area, and in the left arm. It feels like flutters and my neck is really tight. Are these palpitations or muscle twitch? Vitals normal. 27F Omeprazole 20mg QAM?
