Hello.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec.com website. Heart palpitations often cause a feeling of palpitations, a pounding heart. Usually a fast heartbeat is cause for concern, but sometimes it's harmless. In a few rarer situations, tachycardia can be a symptom of serious heart disease, such as an arrhythmia, that requires specialist Cardiology treatment.
Here is a complete guide to heart palpitations from Dr. Tran Thi Thanh Truc, Cardiovascular Center of Vinmec Central Park International Hospital. Please read in detail:
