Palpitation

Palpitation is a sensation or feeling of the heart beating rapidly or irregularly in the chest. It may feel like the heart is pounding, racing, or skipping beats. Palpitation is a common symptom of anxiety and can be caused by a range of physical or psychological conditions. It is important to consult with a doctor to diagnose the underlying cause of the palpitation. Palpitation can be caused by cardiac conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmia, or myocardial infarction. Palpitation can also be caused by medications, electrolyte imbalances, or anxiety disorders. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, but may include lifestyle changes, medications, or medical interventions.
