I have been having heart palpitations for about six weeks. It started only when I layed down but now it happens more often. I do not smoke drink or even drink caffeine. It agrivates my gerd. I am 41 weigh 169 and am 6 1. My biological died of cardiopathy in his early 40 s. Most of what I read says not to worry but should I?
Hello, Herd is a common problem and It's rarely also related to heart disease. Most of the time, there is no need to worry. However, since you have a history of heart diseases, it's better to get ECG done and stress test like treadmill test which will rule out your concern.  For Herd, you should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Elevate head end of the bed or use pillows during sleep or rest.  You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or omeprazole risperidone combination before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add SYR sacral O or genus two teaspoon three times a day for a week.  Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
