Heart palpitations are heartbeats that suddenly become more noticeable.<\/strong><\/p>\n Your heart may feel like it’s pounding, fluttering or beating irregularly, often for just a few seconds or minutes. You may also feel these sensations in\u00a0your throat or neck.<\/p>\n Palpitations may seem\u00a0alarming, but in most cases they’re harmless and are not a sign of a problem with your heart.<\/p>\n Sometimes you may feel an extra or missed beat. These are known as ‘ectopic beats’, and\u00a0are also usually\u00a0nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n However, palpitations accompanied by other symptoms, such as\u00a0dizziness or tightness in your chest, can sometimes be a sign of a heart problem.<\/p>\n Schedule an appointment if you have palpitations along with other symptoms or if you’re concerned.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Heart palpitations are heartbeats that suddenly become more noticeable.
