What to check for panic

Because the first thing to consider when experiencing palpitations is heart disease, an electrocardiogram is a must-do test when palpitations occur. If necessary, a 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram can be performed to help fully understand the condition. If you experience frequent chest tightness and palpitations, you will also need to do a cardiac ultrasound to help check your heart function.

Since anemia, hypotension, hypoglycemia and other conditions can also cause palpitations, in addition to the electrocardiogram, blood tests, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc. should be performed according to the patient's condition to assist in diagnosis.
