Suggest Remedy For Heart Palpitations
Question: HELLO,I HAVE PALPITATIONS ,I HAD MY HEART CHECK,LOOKS NORMAL,MY PULSE IS ABOUT 80, AND I FEEL PALPITATIONS ALL THE TIME
Brief Answer:
Nothing serious
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
Usually 80 bpm heart rate doesn't cause palpitations.
Sometimes it can cause palpitations if;
1.your usual heart rate is low 70 bpm, and it has increased up to 80 bpm recently
2. there is anxiety or you are overtired
You can continue metoprolol, if it doesn't help the dose can be increased. In case of anxiety you can discuss with your doctor to prescribe mild sedative medication
Hope I could help you
Wish you good health
Regards,
