Causes of Palpitations

What causes palpitations and how is that corrected

  Palpitation is the term given to an uncomfortable awareness of your heartbeat. This is usually accompanied by breathlessness, sweating, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and a general feeling of being unwell. In the normal course, you should not feel your heart beat. Strenuous exercise can cause you to become aware of your heartbeat. However, this is not uncomfortable and therefore not palpitation. Palpitations can be induced in a non disease state by anxiety. Heart disease including heart attack, heart failure, hypertension and angina can give rise to palpitation. There are other conditions also that can cause palpitations. If you have palpitations, you should consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation to find out the cause. Only then can you be treated.
