Specializes in Urgent Care

See MD: Studies show that palpitations, when lasting several minutes can be more than an anxiety attack. A full history and physical exam is indicated, listening to your heart tones and taking an EKG to look at cardiac conduction parameters in addition to Zio patch testing if history 1st dg relative sudden cardiac death or if they last several minutes or cause BP to drop. Other studies based on full exam
