Question
Hello doctor,
I often have heart palpitations, before it was rare and difficult to recognize. However, recently, the frequency of heart palpitations occurs continuously and I can feel it clearly. Several times when I went to the doctor, the doctor said that I had a fast heart rate. I want to ask the doctor if tachycardia is dangerous?
