Are Strong Palpitations Leading To Dizziness A Cause For Concern?

Hi I am a 31 yr old, healthy and active female. For the last few weeks I have been getting strong palpitations ans they started on the evenings, and now I am getting them in the daytime and they are really strong and sometimes last for a couple of hours and make me feel really dizzy and light headed. I am a smoker, I smoke around 8-10 cigarettes daily. Do I need to go and see my GP about this? I do have a lot of family members especially my mom who has heart problems?

Other problem like anxiety... heavy smoking and caffeine also increase heart beats and leads to b palpitations.. Take care...
