Is it dangerous if I get heart palpitations?

Про цей епізод

On average the human heart beats at a rate of 1.16 times per second, or 100 times per minute. Sometimes the heart rate gets faster, slower or is irregular. And the older we get, the more likely we are to experience heart palpitations. The first thing to underline is that these palpitations are completely normal and harmless 90% of the time. Furthermore even if they’re particularly intense, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s anything serious. Irregular palpitations while resting could be extrasystoles. These are additional heartbeats that occur outside the physiological heart rhythm, and are known colloquially as skipped heartbeats or heart hiccups. We don’t know exactly why they happen, but again most of the time they’re harmless. Why does my heart sometimes start racing even when I’m resting then? Should I be worried if that’s the case? What can I do to relieve palpitations when I’m getting them? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
