Palpitation of The Heart

This is not a disease but a symptom. Ordinarily we do not feel the heart beating inside our chest. When we are painfully aware of this, that is called palpitation.

Cause: Nervous debility, plethora or sanguinous temperament, anxiety, fatiguing exertions, too much bodily discharge, fear, menstrual disturbance, indulgence in intoxicating drugs, dyspepsia, flatulence, etc.
