What Are the Causes of Heart Palpitations?
The average heart beats 72 times a minute, 100,000 times a day, 36 million times a year. However, there are certain circumstances under which the heart will beat much more often than that. People are usually fully aware of these extra heartbeats, and can often be (understandably) concerned. It is wise to schedule an appointment with your doctor should you be experiencing such palpitations. The causes could be varied, but by taking the “better safe than sorry” approach, you can reassure yourself by ruling out the most serious issues.
