Palpitations

[Ottis]

When you get palpitations what does people do to get rid of them thanks..x

Depends what they are. Palpitations just really means that you are aware of your heart. This can be pounding as in when one is frightened or missed beats and does not need to mean AF. It is a catch all term.

I usually try to distract myself by doing something else, either a bit of light housework/read a book/Make a phone call/ go for a walk, unless it's at night when you're in bed then I just try to breathe deeply and get back to sleep. It doesn't always work but takes my mind off it for a bit.

Seriously Ottis, if you are really concerned about them, go see your Doctor

and have them checked out. Some are normal and others require attention

depending on your age and physical wellbeing.
