Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is Causing My Palpitations And What Can I D O?
I appear to be having palpitations now on a daily basis and they are lasting anything up to 20 minutes at a time and seem to occur when I lie down. Any advice please?
Yes... see a cardiologist.
That's too often and too long to be attributable to stress.
It's possible that it could be controlled by medication, or you could need cardiac surgery. A "short circuit" in the heart can be cured with a minimally invasive procedure called cardiac ablation.
