Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com.
Your palpitations started 1 week ago. The tests like 2d echo and stress test rule out any structural or coronary abnormality.
However, palpitations could be due to certain electric disturbances leading to arrhythmias. If you have palpitations with lightheadedness almost daily you could benefit from a 24 hour holter examination. This test will capture any electrical abnormality causing arrhythmia during the 24 hours of continuous ecg monitoring.
The other possible reason of palpitations could be anemia.
You do not have to repeat the investigations already done since they are just a month old.
Hope this helps, would be glad to answer any follow-ups.
Regards

Hi, thanks for the reply. Is it so serious that I need to worry about or can I see doctor in a month time? Thanks.
Hello,
Since you had a heart rate of 55 to 60 and BP of 110/70 mm Hg it means that you are stable during such episodes and they are unlikely to be dangerous.
Also your 2d echo and stress ecg are normal. So it also lessens the chance of your symptoms being dangerous.
So in my opinion it may not be a dangerous condition though may be bothersome.
