Palpitations

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I understand palpitations are a feeling about my heartbeat, not a diagnosis by themselves.
   • I know causes may include extra beats, uneven rhythms, stress, fever, anemia, thyroid disease, pregnancy, or heart disease.
   • I know caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, dehydration, poor sleep, and some medicines or supplements may trigger them.
   • I know most brief episodes are not dangerous, but frequent or worsening episodes may need heart testing.
