Treating or
preventing heart palpitations
If you're experiencing heart palpitations for the first
time, definitely talk to your doctor about them. Record your
events, when they happen, how long they last, and so on. This
type of information will help your doctor decide how to deal
with them.
Your doctor will want to know about your medical history. A
physical exam can help separate relatively harmless
palpitations from more serious disturbances in heart
rhythm.
It's not always possible, but the best way to evaluate a
heart palpitation is to have it happen when you're taking an
electrocardiogram. It doesn't have to take place in a doctor's
office. There are portable monitors available that can record
heart rhythm over a period of time, usually 24 to 48 hours.
Keeping stress to a minimum is the best possible prevention.
Breathing exercises and deep relaxation techniques can help.
Taking a yoga class or doing some tai chi regularly can
help.
