Patient question
After experiencing palpitations during exercise, what should be done before the next exercise session?
Answer reviewed by Li Yan, Chief Physician
Professional answer
First pause high-intensity activity, record the type and intensity of exercise, the time of symptom onset and relief, and any accompanying discomfort, and consult a doctor before resuming exercise. If palpitations are accompanied by chest pain, fainting, significant shortness of breath, or do not resolve, seek emergency medical help immediately.
