Thank you for reaching out. Persistent heart palpitations can be due to many causes—both physical (like
thyroid issues, anemia, cardiac rhythm disturbances) and psychological (such as anxiety or panic). Since you’ve already consulted a psychiatrist and symptoms continue, it is essential to rule out any physical or cardiac causes.
Make sure the following are evaluated (if not already done):
ECG, Holter monitoring (24-hour ECG)
Thyroid function test
Complete blood count and
vitamin B12/D levels
Caffeine/stimulant intake or sleep issues
Next Steps
1. Visit a cardiologist or physician for detailed evaluation if not done
2. Share results with your psychiatrist for a collaborative care approach
3. Practice regular breathing exercises, avoid caffeine, ensure proper hydration and sleep
Health Tips
1. Avoid self-medicating or skipping prescribed medicines
2. If palpitations are accompanied by dizziness, chest pain, or blackouts, seek emergency care
3. Mind-body techniques like yoga, mindfulness, and progressive relaxation can significantly help
