Guide to Heart Palpitations

Is your heart skipping a beat? Heart palpitations are the awareness that your heart is beating. Here's what you should know about keeping your heart healthy.
Christopher Tsai, M.D. and Joel Dahms, M.S.

If you have a medical condition that is causing your palpitations, the doctor can help treat the problem and your palpitations should resolve. If you are taking a medication that tends to cause palpitations as a side effect, the doctor can suggest an alternative medicine for you to take.

If your palpitations are due to a heart arrhythmia, you and the doctor can decide on a strategy for treating the arrhythmia or the underlying heart disease that may be causing it.
