    hi dear, i feel your pain. ive had the palpitation issues myself for over 10 years. have you had a heart echo done to rule out any structural issues? if youve had EKGS or a holter monitor and theyve captured these palpitations, and said youre ok then i would trust it. if not, i would get these tests for a piece of mind. remember, heart palpitations feel extremely scary, and so not normal, but are almost always benign.
