Fluttering, Hard Beating Heartbeat. Reason, How To Get Relief?

My heart beats so hard it keeps me up at night. Last night I was just sitting in my bed and reached across to the end of the bed and my heart totally flipped out. It stopped and fluttered real bad..it went real fast then fluttered then it would stop and start. Really scary stuff.. I can always feel my heart beating its very annoying

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Dear you are having palpitations. Anemia when severe can cause what we call hyperdynamic circulation. Clinically an anemic person is pale. Hyperthyroidism can also cause it. Clinically a patient of hyperthyroidism has increased appetite yet a loss of body weight, irritability, decrease in sleep, tremors of hands, diarrhoea and sometimes bulging of eyes. Finally lesions of heart should be ruled out especially if you have a history of rheumatic fever. So you should have your Hemoglobin, Thyroid functions and EKG done. Thanks and take care.
