Heart Palpitations

Is it normal to get little palpitations every couple of days? I get them every so often. No particular triggers. No rhyme or reason. They can take my breath away for a few minutes then it’s all fine.

They intensified during pregnancy and I wore a heart monitor for 24 hours and had an EKG. But the palpitations didn’t happen in that time so nothing was picked up and that was it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I haven’t had it checked out other than that. Mainly because I suspect the same thing will just happen again. Is it a normal thing?

Yep. Lots of people get them. I’ve had then since puberty. I notice them more in the days leading up to my period for three or four days, also higher anxiety. Mine were more prevalent in pregnancy too, but now just come and go.

Oh that’s good!! I’ve always been a bit frightened to pursue it, truth be told. Or even google it.

I get them when my iron is low. Might be worth getting your bloods checked?
