Hello,
With the question “What is a heart palpitations sign of disease? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The heart beats faster than usual, lasting about 3 minutes as you describe, it can be caused by many reasons. In particular, the cause to be noted is transient arrhythmia. For an accurate diagnosis, you need to see a cardiologist for an examination, electrocardiogram, and tests. Your doctor will probably need to perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) Holter (which measures your heart continuously for at least 24 hours) in order to "catch" transient arrhythmias.
If you still have questions about heart palpitations, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
