Hi There
After going through your query i understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that palpitation or rapid heart rate is the common symptoms of iron deficiency anemia for which you were prescribed with Ferrous Fumarate. But you are prone to develop Rheumatic Heart Disease as in the past you were diagnosed with Rheumatic fever.
Kindly get an ECG and Electrocardiography done to evaluate any underlying heart disease.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
