Hello,
Since you are having symptoms of heart palpitations you should visit ER & get physically examined by a cardiologist. You may need to go through some regular investigations, CBC, Urinalysis,
Lipid profile, ECG,
Electrocardiography & stress test.
Commonly palpitations are due to heart conditions like
supraventricular tachycardia or atrial
fibrillation. At times it may be an indication of some developing Coronary artery disease.
Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected. Avoid addictions if any, stay away from alcohol, smoking, caffeine, nicotine or energy drinks. Avoid anxiety & stress as they may trigger palpitations & worsen your symptoms.
Sometimes
dehydration can cause palpitations. Stay properly hydrated. Maintain the electrolyte balance of your body. Take adequate sleep, maintain healthy weight as per BMI.
Avoid eating oily, greasy food. Take berries, fruits, veggies, whole grain. Avoid red meat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
