first I want to your age because if it is AF then its treatment depends upon age too.
second what was your holter or loop recorder report.does it have AF.
third it can give u brain attack rather than heart attack (but mau occur)
please mention all reports results
finally if it is not Arrhythmia then no worry it is just anxiety .you can prevent your palpitations by taking beta blocker and anti anxiety drugs
