What are Heart Palpitations?

Heart palpitations are the sensation of your heart beating too fast, too hard, irregularly, or skipping beats. They can feel alarming — particularly when they occur at rest or without obvious cause. While palpitations are common during anxiety or exertion, chronic or frequent palpitations warrant investigation and often reflect autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

How to know if Heart Palpitations are chronic

  • Occurring multiple times per week, at rest, or during minimal activity
  • Lasting more than a few weeks
  • Accompanied by dizziness, chest discomfort, or breathlessness
  • Disrupting sleep or daily activities

Heart Palpitationscan be associated with the following conditions:

How brain training & re-origin can help

Heart palpitations linked to POTS, dysautonomia, or anxiety often reflect an autonomic nervous system that has lost flexibility. Re-origin’s program directly targets nervous system regulation — helping restore the balance between the sympathetic (activating) and parasympathetic (calming) branches of the autonomic system, which can meaningfully reduce palpitation frequency.

FAQs

Are heart palpitations dangerous?

Most palpitations are benign — particularly those linked to anxiety, caffeine, or autonomic dysfunction. However, any new palpitations should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out cardiac causes.

Why do I get palpitations when standing up?

This is a hallmark symptom of POTS — a form of autonomic dysfunction where the heart rate rises excessively on standing. Take the POTS quiz at re-origin.com/pots-syndrome-quiz.

Can anxiety cause heart palpitations?

Yes. Anxiety triggers the release of adrenaline, which speeds the heart. For people with an overactive stress response, this can happen frequently and without obvious trigger.

Will palpitations resolve with nervous system regulation?

For palpitations driven by anxiety or autonomic dysfunction, many re-origin members have found significant relief as their nervous system becomes better regulated.
