Palpitations: Unfortunately unless you're physically examined (nondiagnostic) or are able to obtain an EKG or wear a heart monitor at the time of palpitations, you cannot assess the nature of the heart rhythm. If no palpitations occurred a when you wore the holter monitor you should arrange to wear one for a more protected period or wear an event monitor. Panic states may simulate symptoms of cardiac dysrhythmi
