What Causes Palpitations?
For the past few months, I've found that every now and then my heart will beat really fast and hard. On other occasions It will miss a beat then go back to normal. It doesn't hurt me in any way but when I was in the shower the other day I had to sit myself down as I was short of breath and felt faint. Is that anything to worry about?
