: If you are not having shortness of breath, fainting, lightheadedness, it is probably not serious. Palpitations and tachycardia mean a lot of different things. If you are concerned, your doctor can order a Holter monitor to see what is really going on. Do not increase your salt intake as this has nothing to do with your symptoms.
