Palpitations
Palpitations are episodes where heartbeat feels unusually noticeable, rapid, or irregular.
How to track
- Log episode timestamp and estimated duration.
- Track context tags including stress, caffeine, activity, and sleep quality.
- Record associated symptoms such as lightheadedness or anxiety.
- Use notes for activity interruption level.
Common context
Heartbeat awareness can happen with stress and hormonal transitions, so timelines help identify recurring context.
What to bring to a clinician
- How frequent are episodes each week?
- Which context tags are most common before episodes?
- Are episodes linked with sleep disruption or anxiety spikes?
