What Causes Palpitations?
Question: Hi
Have regular palpitations throughout the day. Went to Dr he doesn't seem very worried, says it probably just stress so put me on 5mg urbonol. It didn't work and still have the palpitations. He then took my blood pressure and said it was low and then said I should increase my salt intake and drink enerage and then come back in few days. In few days went back, still with heart palpitations but at least blood pressure was big higher so he tested my iron. My iron came back as normal....I am confused as I can definetely feel the palpitations throughout the day so how can "all be in order" if I am experiencing this. I put me on a trial of 10g pur bloka and said I should let him know in 7 days if I feel better or not but said it not very good for me to remain on this product so now I am totally stressed as to why this is happening?

Brief Answer:
Following causes to palpitations...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there my dear,
Pur bloka is a betablocker of generic name Propanolol. It is good at lowering the heart frequency, improving your palpitations.
If I was your caring doctor would go deeper and find out why you are having palpitations:
- not having regular meals (skipping meals)
- energetic drinks or coffee can also increase palpitations
- stress/anxiety
- hormonal changes
- heart problem
- heartburn/other stomach problems
I advise to do an ECG and Holter monitoring before starting pur bloka. I also advise to be more physically active apart a healthy diet.
Try to control stress as it will make your palpitations worst.
Hope it helped!
