I've had heart palpitations for 10 months, they started right after a hiatus hernia operation. I get them everyday. I get them at different times, while watching tv or just relaxing in bed, doing normal everyday things. I had blood work done and was told I was low on B12 and was told to take 1000 mcg of a supplement daily. While taking it the palpitations got stronger so I stopped taking it and they eased up. I still get them but not as strong as when I was taking the supplement and I've also had a shortness of breathe issue for a long time. I get shortness when just climbing a flight of stairs. Was told the hernia was causing it but there's no difference since the operation. Could the shortness of breathe and palpitations be related?
