Palpitations
by kyfan, Oct 04, 2009 06:27PM
I have occasional palpitations that I have dealt with for some time. I made an appointment with a cardiologist to try and put my mind at ease. Sometimes, they happen when my pulse is fast, but also sometimes at rest. They usually happen just once very quickly then pass. I have had a chest x-ray, which was normal, a stress test, which was normal, and wore a 48-hour holter monitor which they said was also normal. I had an echocardiogram also. My cardiologist said basically that I dont need to see him, and I should continue living my life. So should I just do anything I would normally do, and ignore the palpitations based on all of these tests?

I have permanent AFib, and while it does cause some limitation, I am just living with it, going on with my life...albeit I have already lived most of my life. Still, a young person has even more reason to take the good news to "heart" and get on with life. Many people have various short-term palpitation, and some take medications. Sounds like you can get by without taking medications. I'd consider that a plus.
