Dear Ma'm
thanks for writing to us.
whenever one has palpitation there can be two type of causes 1. related to heart and 2. unrelated to heart. and at the core of work up for palpitations lie the recognition of type of rhythm at time of palpitation. since you have been advised CIPLAX for control of palpitation , i assume your doctor must have reached a definite diagnosis. please take your medication and if problem persists discuss it with your physician. you are most welcome to discuss further if you can come up with more information, especially any investigation you have undergone.
