Should I be concerned about occasional palpitations despite normal test results?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

The palpitations may be related to a heart rhythm issue or, more likely, anxiety. Given that your electroencephalogram and echocardiography are normal, there is no need to worry. Ensure your thyroid function and electrolyte levels are normal. If occasional palpitations persist, consider Holter monitoring, also known as ambulatory electrocardiography, involves wearing a portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, typically 24 to 48 hours or event recording. It is worth noting that PVCs (premature ventricular contractions) and PACs (premature atrial contractions) are normal in healthy individuals. Do share if there is any history of sudden cardiac death in first-degree relatives.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

There is no cause for concern; occasional PVCs (premature ventricular contractions) and PACs (premature atrial contractions) are normal. Even a few hundred premature beats are considered normal. To reduce cardiovascular risk, I suggest maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising regularly. I suggest following a Mediterranean diet and checking fasting lipid profile and HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) levels. If abnormal, take measures to control them. Additionally, I suggest refraining from smoking and alcohol, as they are detrimental to the heart and overall health.

I hope this helps.
