Go to the ER again. And don't see that same doctor. I think you should get a 2nd opinion.
Just to make sure.
Feel better
I also went to my regular doctor and a heart specialist. They saw the palpitations on the EKG. I also had lung xrays, some kind of a radiation test to check for clots in my lung?, chest xrays, blood test, and an echocariograph. The ER kept asking me if I took cocaine!!! Then they thought I had a blood clot in my lung cause by the pill... because I had chest pain and something weird showed up in my blood. I did those tests and no clot was there. My regular Dr. did the EKG and said stress. The heart specialist said panic attack.

No caffeine ever.
This happened once before really bad and I ended up inthe ER all night. I had palpitations for 2 weeks after that. I went to a heart specialist and they did all kinds of tests and said my heart is fine and it is probably from stress.
I don't feel stressed today though. It comes at weird times.
my fh had this too! they said they didnt see anything wrong with the heart, and to cut caffeine and see if it worked, and if it didnt they would prescribe him stress medicine... but when he cut caffeine out it stoped aside from when he eats Salmon....

Re: I am having heart palpitations again
I get this at times, but it is realated to the synthroid I take. My doctor told me to put pressure on my left carotid vessel in my neck to help stop the palpatations. I get shakey too, especially my hands. Some times they are so back I can't even write. I take synthroid related to a problem with my thyroid, maybe you should have yours checked. Feel better!

Re: I am having heart palpitations again
I was having this for at least 6 moinths b4 the wedding, after the wedding the palpitations went away and my blood pressure is normal again. It got so bad right b4 the wedding I was able to feel the blood rushing on the sides of my head by the temples. Try to relax even though it is not easy- you may think u r not stressed, but u probably are. Take a long hot bath, drink decaf, and if it is really bad call the doctor just to make sure. I hope u feel better! Hugs to u
