Hi,
The palpitations you are telling looks like a abnormal heart rhythm.
Have you done a ECG at the time of palpitations. If yes, then that would be of great help in the diagnosis. Kindly send me that ECG.
If no, I'll advice you to get a 24 hr Holter monitoring done to detect this arrhythmia.
For such patients we generally advice to start on Tab Diltiazem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
