Have you ever felt like your heart was going to pop out of your chest? Palpitations can produce the feeling of skipped or stopped heart beats. Sometimes unpleasant and scary, becoming familiar with home treatments can make life easier.

## What are Heart Palpitations?

The sensations of the heart often described as a ‘racing’ or ‘pounding’ feeling are called a heart palpitation. Heart rhythm could be normal or abnormal with palpitations. Despite the name, a person can feel heart palpitations in their chest, throat, or neck. Usually not serious, palpitations can cause concern when an abnormal heart rhythm is present. Some people are affected by a previously diagnosed heart disease. Low potassium levels and an abnormal heart valve can also worsen symptoms.

## Causes and Symptoms

• Skipped heartbeats • Fluttering heartbeats • Rapid heartbeats • Heartbeats that pump harder than usual
