Palpitations - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Which doctor should I visit in case I suffer from palpitations?

You should visit a cardiologist in case you suffer from palpitations.

2. Why is a continuous monitoring of the heart rate necessary in some cases?

In some cases, a continuous monitoring of the heart rate is necessary to detect changes in the heart rate and/or rhythm that may not be detected in the doctor’s office. For example, if a person has an abnormal heart beat at a particular time of the day or only associated with a particular activity, a Holter monitor, which detects cardiac activity throughout the day, will be able to pick up this abnormality.
