Hello, is it possible to have an increase in palpitations at higher altitudes ie the mountains? thank you.

Palpitations: Yes especially if you are very high with lower O2 levels. Also depending on what kind shape you are in. You may be fine at one level but not at a higher level. If the palpitations continue, you should be seen by a physician and evaluated

Altitude.: If your body is not accustomed to high altitude, your heart rate may increase in order to shuttle more red blood cells around to deliver adequate oxygen to your body. Less oxygen in the air means you’re breathing in less oxygen, which means the RBCs have to circulate around quicker so they can get back to the lungs to grab more oxygen.
