Hold the cardio: for now, and kindly see your doctor/ cardiologist for evaluation, you may need to have a stress test first, or advice on which exercise best suited for your condition, good luck

There is only: one way to determine if the palpitations you have during your workouts are potentially serious and that is a EKG/ECHO monitored Exercise Tolerance Test! Many Cardiologists perform these in their offices. Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
