hi,
most important things to find cause of palpitations is to either do ECG while you are having palpitations ( if hospital is nearby, it helps most), if not, 24 or 48 hours HOLTER monitoring may get some info, but one thing should be kept in mind, while wearing this, one should do all the stuffs he/she thinks that precipitate palpitations, to help it get recorded and later analysed by us.
I would advice to have a thyroid function assessment too.
