Discuss with HT Dr: Palpitations is the word patient use to describe a fluttering sensation in the chest caused by skipped heart beats or rapid heartbeats. Patients with no heart disease can often experience palpitations. Sometimes they are brought on by anxiety, fatigue, caffeine and cough and cold medicines. Beta blockers are sometimes prescribed if the palpitations are annoying or very frequent. SEE bit.ly/1vlj5

Get this checked: If you're an athlete in training, this might even be healthy. But these palpitations are worth getting checked. Try a few days off coffee and tobacco if these are a factor, and if you still have symptoms, check in with your physician for an exam and possible Holter monitor.
