Have you ever suddenly felt your heart racing, pounding or skipping a beat? This unusual awareness of your heartbeat is commonly called heart palpitations. It can happen while you are exercising, feeling stressed, resting or even lying in bed at night. In many cases, palpitations are temporary and harmless. However, they can sometimes be linked to an abnormal heart rhythm or another medical condition. Understanding what triggers them, what symptoms to watch for and when to seek medical help can help you take the right steps.
