Palpitations: First get examined by a physician and wear an outpatient Holter monitor for 24-48 hours and write down the time you experience palpitations in order to document what the heart rate and rhythm is at the time. If an arrhythmia is documented thyroid tests will be ordered and antiarrhymic medication may be prescribed. Avoid caffeine,nicotine,alcohol,stress. If anxiety,stress management helpful
