: Pfizer vaccine has very little in its rna representing spike protein and a small transport material. I am not aware of vaccine affecting the heart, brain or any other systems. Is it possible that your palpitations were due to anxiety concerning COVID-19 &amp; receiving the vaccine may have relieved the stress. It can be just coincidence. Or may have heart healthy effect!!! Does it help?

A member asked:

Not sure what I'm feeling with my heart. Once in a while when working out, I'll feel a flutter or two in my chest. But maybe it's a palpitation. Feels like it beats REALLY hard for a single beat. Arrhythmia runs in my family. Should I be concerned?

A member asked:

Is a high heart rate followed by palpitations and sometimes chest pain bad at 17? I have anxiety and I work out a lot. I am healthy and in shape but my heart rate reaches 202. When I am just sitting down my heart flutters and feels like its dropping?
