I’m making an appointment tomorrow but I’ve had an EKG and echocardiogram a year ago. I’m going to need a 24 hour heart monitor. I have a question. I can’t find the answer online. How long do benign heart palpitations last? Since mine last for almost 11 straight hours does that mean it’s not a benign conditiion? I can’t get rid of them and it prevents me from sleep. Help!

About seventy five years is normal.
I’m serious and now I have left sided chest pain. After a severe bout of palpitations can chest pain occur? Is it serious?
I think any felt palpitation should be looked into. I have palpitations and it is my heart’s way of telling me there is a problem. Better safe than sorry! Good luck to you.
I’m making an appointment today but can this severe case be stress related?
@missjena Yes, it could be stress related, but with chest pains and long-lasting palpitations, you need to be seen right away.
If it does turn out to be stress related, consider getting an SSRI (anti-anxiety medication), which can really cut down on stress reactions going to your heart.
Please let us know what the doctor says.
Well I had an EKG and echocardiogram today and they were both normal. I am now attached to a heart monitor and of course my palpitations arent occuring! Ugh
i had an echo scan waiting on results and blood work palpotations only acurr when i get dizzy idk why yet.
