I don't know what's going on, but I do know that the best thing to do is go to a doctor, or the emergency room if you don't have a doctor.
I know people hate going to their doctors, or to the ER, but if you want this to go away, you have to see medical people.
good luck!
See a cardiologist.
You got palpitations either due to anxiety or heart disease.
Palpitations occur when a person can feel abnormalities in the normal beating of the heart. These palpitations can be an isolated extra beat, or they can run together and last for prolonged periods of time.
The symptoms of palpitations vary from patient to patient with some common features. A perception of irregularity of the pulse, an uneasiness in the chest, a flip-flopping in the chest; frequently people describe their palpitations as "my heart stops." Certainly a feeling of strong pulse throughout the chest, head and neck could well be described as a palpitation.
Other expressions are, 'skips a beat', 'heart turns in chest', 'flutters', 'tickles in chest', 'butterflies', 'heart jumps out of chest', 'hammering in chest' etc.
In a diseased state it could be due to:
# Premature atrial contractions (PAC) or premature ventricular contractions (PVC).
# Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
# Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter
# Ventricular Tachycardia and Fibrillation
Causes of palpitations:
# From within the body, abnormal levels of electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, and calcium can cause palpitations. Anemia and hyperthyroidism are also a potential causes of palpitations.
Other causes:
* caffeine,
* tobacco,
* alcohol,
* over the counter medications: pseudoephedrine found in cold preparations and some herbal medications, including ma huang
* illicit drugs, cocaine being the most prevalent, although PCP and marijuana, among others, can cause palpitations as well.
