Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Most common cause for palpitations is stress and anxiety. But better to rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) because this can also cause palpitations in young individuals. And if not treated promptly, arrhythmia can be life-threatening. So consult doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. Sometimes undiagnosed and uncontrolled stress can also cause palpitations. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out arrhythmia. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
