Hi

I have been experiencing frequent heart palpitations for 3 days. Google says not to worry! But I've taken an ECG using my husband's apple watch and it records the palpitations. Does this look concerning? This is a snapshot. It happened 4 times in 30 seconds.

Is this ECG normal? Do I need to go to a&e?

It’s normal single lead ecg. You do not have inverted T waves. Isolated premature ventricular contractions as shown in the ecg are normal common and often do not require treatment. Have the 12 lead ecg done at the office…. It’s a good baseline to have in your medical record. Limit caffeine make sure you are getting enough sleep and drink water. Palpitations are most often felt at rest…like trying to fall asleep or reading.. not while doing something active. You could wear a patch monitor to quantify the number of irregular beats which needs ordered by your doctor. Anxiety is a sticky wicket and can be hard to separate palpitations or chest pain from anxiety. As long as you don’t have other symptoms…racing heartbeat greater than 150 beats per minute chest pain shortness of breath…I would wait for your appointment for the 12 lead ecg.
