Anyone can experience heart palpitations. When excited, stressed out, worried, after alcohol consumptions, even certain medications can cause heart palpitations. Regardless of the causing factors, the matter should not be overlooked because if the causes are triggered by health problems, it could lead to a death risk. Therefore, observe the following symptoms if experience heart palpitations.
- Does the heart palpitation occur suddenly or without any triggering factors?

- Are there any other symptoms that occur in conjunction with palpitation such as chest tightness, difficulty breathing, wooziness, lightheadedness, or fainting?

- When the palpitation goes away and symptoms get back to normal, does it gradually get better or does it improves suddenly, is there anything that needs to be done for the symptoms to improve?
