Are Normal Palpitations In The Chest A Cause Of Concern?

Yesterday when I woke up I had discomfort in my chest. I thought that maybe I slept weird. Yesterday and today I have continued to have small pulses around the middle of my chest. They are more uncomfortable than painful but have continued now for two days. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult doctor for these persistent palpitations.
Persistent palpitations are seen with arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) and anxiety.
So consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for these palpitations.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
