Hello,
Palpitations associated with fatigue may be indicative of developing CAD. However, there can be other reasons like stress, anxiety, panic or thyroid disorders, lack of sleep, food that may cause acid reflux may trigger palpitations. You are suggested to get a routine cardiac check up done. Get blood tests, CBC, urinalysis, lipid function tests, EKG, stress tests, Echo done to stay on the safer side.
If tests show positive reports, your treatment with medicines will be started. If needed surgery will be recommended. You are suggested to take adequate sleep, stay away from anxiety & take home made food. Avoid addictions if any. Control your blood glucose level at all cost. Do regular walking. Avoid food that causes gastritis and acid reflux. You can take antacids and PPIs for relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
