Hi I am a 31 yr old, healthy and active female.  For the last few weeks I have been getting strong palpitations ans they started on the evenings, and now I am getting them in the daytime and they are really strong and sometimes last for a couple of hours and make me feel really dizzy and light headed.  I am a smoker, I smoke around 8-10 cigarettes daily. Do I need to go and see my GP about this? I do have a lot of family members especially my mom who has heart problems?
Hello understand You\u2019re concern... AS repeatedly if palpitations causing dizziness.  Then definitely I will advise u to undergo tests. ECG and echo will show baseline heart function . Holder will help to detect heart rhythm problem. When u have Palpitations if possible go and take ECG... From that we get idea why palpitations coming... And decide further treatment... Other problem like anxiety... heavy smoking and caffeine also increase heart beats and leads to b palpitations. Take care...
