Hi @arpie I was having palpitations for about 6 months...feeling light headed...holter monitor didn’t find anything..then early February this year it got worse to the point I thought I was having a heart attack...I suffered a Takotsubo cardiomyopathy...which is brought on by stress...so if you feel like it’s getting worse just keep going to GP or hospital..good luck xx
