it is bad to have heart palpitations for four weeks?

It depends on how often you are having them, and what brings them on.  The cause could be anything from serious to just too much caffeine (coke or coffee?)  I have noticed that excitement, stress,  or hot weather may also have an effect on having them.\nYou should see a dr. to rule out any serious cause.  There are medications you can take to regulate the heartbeat so that you aren't aware of the palpitations.  To a certain extent, everyone has them once in a while and it is considered normal.

PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO VK!!! I Have tachycardia and have had to deal with it since 1997, at least that is when it was diagnosed,and it has to do with your sinus node , your hearts electrical system. It is usually treated with beta blockers that have to be taken daily to slow and strengthen the heart. If the problem continues, then there is a procedure called cardiac ablation that will "burn" all of your bad electrical path ways and usually your cured!!

You could have a mitral valve prolapse which is common and harmless. They can cause palpitations. Sometimes, a full meal causes your heart to work a little harder to digest which will cause an increase in pulse and more palpitations.

It could be dangerous.  I had an aunt who had to have a pacemaker put in because her heart beat was too low.  \n\nIf you had it tested, what did the doctor recommend?

It is called a heart palpatation.. An irregualar beat of the heart... Many things can cause this. Stress levels, lack of sleep, too much caffine or nicotine. A cloged artery, A heart murmer not found yet, being diabetic can mess with your heart if you are not aware of the possibility of being so. Also at some point maybe you are having a minor panic attack.. It is something to truely get checked out because this can be a big problem that can cause an abrupt end to your life... Better to be safe than sorry.

Hi, I've had PVCs for many years and they come and go.  At first, I was scared to death and thought that something was seriously wrong with my heart.  After visiting the cardiologist and having a bunch of tests, I learned that my PVCs are totally harmless and most likely the result of stress.  I'm not a doctor, but I've had PVCs off and on for over 10 years and I can tell you that in the absence of other symptoms they're considered totally harmless.  Mine tend to come at night, right around bedtime, if at all.  Like you, I take vitamins (including all the ones you mentioned).  I would suggest you try taking some Magnesium, that seems to have helped me a great deal.  The other thing that helps is exercise -- cardio, and lots of it.  Oh, and by the way -- everyone gets skipped heartbeats, but not everyone notices them.  I think you can relax about your PVCs.  Mention them to your doctor at your next regular checkup, or if they return and suddenly get worse then by all means make that appointment sooner rather than later.  However, your PVCs are most likely just a nuisance.

It is impossible to give safe advice based on such limited info. But any irregular heart beat that is "continuous" and makes you feel bad should be evaluated= go NOW

Ectopic beats are not life threatening, unless your cardiac status is extremely fragile otherwise.\n\n664 sounds like a lot, but it is less than one per minute.\n\nThe runs were probably short.  If you go into a supra-ventricular tachycardia (very fast heartbeat, >150/min, beats originating in the atrium), you may feel unwell and require treatment to get you back into a normal sinus rhythm.\n\nThe ventricular ectopic beats were rare, so I wouldn't worry about those either.\n\nIf you are not having cardiac symptoms, there is nothing to worry about.\n\nHope that makes you feel better!

Yes, heart palpitations are somewhat related to PMS and your period. It is caused by increased amounts of estrogen. Also, if your on birth control pills this can do it too. Have you considered talking to your Ob/Gyn? \nI started noticing my palpitations years ago. Later, i was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse. Non-life threating. It happens to a lot of women from late twenty's to forty. But, keep in mind no one can diagnose you. It's best to consult with your doctor when it comes to something as important as your heart.\n\nGod Bless and Take care of yourself. No one can do that for you.

Go to a well qualified doctor.  My heart did that for years and was never cuaght on EKG.  Then one time I was able to get to the er when it was doing it.  I ended up having to get a cathader ablation done.  Were they go in your blood vessals with a fiber optic thing and zap some nerves in the heart.  it took two times but I have been fine ever since.

I don't know how old you are, so I can't really answer. Irregular heartbeat can result from a number of factors:\nstress, fear, etc\nlack of sleep\nunhealthy lifestyle\nArrhythmia, which usually occurs in fit and young people (which is what I have).\nIf there is no pain or discomfort and this has been happening for a long time, it should be OK, but maybe you should consult a doctor.\nHope it helps!

This answer really depends on your age, sex and risk factors.  If you are young <35 its probably nothing serious but could be your thyroid, panic attack or rarely a heart problem.  If you are older, obese, smoke etc it could be a sign of something more serious in the heart and should be further evaluated by a doctor.  Bottom line if you have already been evaluated by a doctor and had a normal EKG its probably nothing but if you are still nervous you can ask for an event monitor.

Not really, although it can tend to run in families. It is something people are born with. Very basically, it happens when a heart has an extra electrical pathway which at times causes a rapid heart rate. It sometimes can be serious, so if you haven't seen an electrophysiologist, find one soon. \nMore information is available at the Heart Rhythm Society website.\nGood Luck :>)

I get them too, and I seem to notice them at the same time you do -- maybe it's because we are finally resting or whatever, so they seems to stand out compared to when we are rushing about during the day.  I was told they can be from anxiety even if you aren't feeling especially anxious at that particular moment.  I got scared when they kept happening to me, and that's what my doctor said she thought was causing it.  If you have had an EKG, though, I think you are pretty safe.  I'm sort of glad to know I'm not the only one!

I think other answers are great but these methods will work only after you have the problem. \nPlease try to eliminate the root cause of the problem. Which in most cases is the overacidity. \nPlease look at my today's response under ringing of the years.\n- avoid or eliminate acidic foods; take papaya enzyme, calcium and magnesium to reduce existing acidity. also no whole grains please. try Jergens soap. also no hot shower please.\nyou may feel difference after 10 days \ngood luck

Hypochondria with a terminal case of can't spellitus\n\nI just read your other question concerning your heart problem. Hyperventilation, palpitations, numbness in the are & I would bet your hands go numb & cold. They also probably curl up & cramp. You are most likly having a severe anxiety attack. The hyperventilation causes the numbness & anxiety atacks often mimick heart atacks.\n\nLet me know if I guess right about the symptoms you did not list...just curious.\n\nOK...read some more of your posts & decided that I was right to start with. You are an ID**T.
