If you search 'palpitations' on here, I'm sure you will find that a lot suffer from the scary episodes of them, me included! Have you had your folate levels checked?

[Andypandy30 in reply to greenbexy]

Sorry my mobile is playing up. Had to edit. @clivealive is usually the first to pick up on this. I know that you need folic acid, B12 and iron to all work together. If you are low, this needs to be checked from your last blood results, you can buy it from most chemists and supermarkets.

I suppose you should check that you are deficient really before starting to supplement, but it's not like the B12 injections (as in that you can buy it quite easily). The symptoms can be similar to being B12 deficient. 400ug would probably be sufficient, but eating more rich folate veg would also help. Hope this helps, but ask again if unsure.
