To diagnose palpitations, a health care provider will do a physical exam and listen to your heart using a stethoscope. The exam may include looking for signs of medical conditions that can cause heart palpitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your doctor thinks that palpitations are caused by an irregular heartbeat or other heart condition, tests might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.ECG or EKG. This quick and painless test measures the electrical activity of the heart. Sticky patches (electrodes) are placed on the chest and sometimes the arms and legs. Wires connect the electrodes to a computer, which displays the test results. An ECG can show if the heart is beating too slow, too fast or not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.Holter monitoring. This portable device is worn for a day or more to record the heart’s rate and rhythm during daily activities. It’s used to detect heart palpitations that aren’t found during a regular exam,some personal devices can offer remote monitoring. Ask your health care provider if this is an option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3.Event recording. If you don’t have irregular heart rhythms while you wear a Holter monitor or if the events occur less than once weekly, your health care provider might recommend an event recorder. You press a button when symptoms occur. An event recorder is typically worn for up to 30 days or until you have an arrhythmia or symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.Echocardiogram. This noninvasive exam uses sound waves to create moving pictures of the heart in motion. It can show blood flow and structure problems with the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
