Heart Palpitations Treatment in Johor Bahru

Degupan Jantung Tidak Normal

Heart palpitations — the sensation of a racing, fluttering, pounding, or irregular heartbeat — are a common reason for clinic visits in Malaysia. While palpitations are often benign (caused by stress, caffeine, dehydration, or anxiety), some are caused by cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation that require treatment. An ECG is the first and most important test in evaluating palpitations.

Symptoms of Heart Palpitations

✓Awareness of your own heartbeat — racing, pounding, or fluttering
✓Sensation of a skipped beat or extra beat
✓Rapid heartbeat at rest or with minimal exertion
✓Irregular heartbeat
✓Associated dizziness or lightheadedness during episodes
✓Chest discomfort or breathlessness during palpitation episodes

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor promptly if palpitations are frequent, prolonged, accompanied by dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or if you faint. Seek emergency care for sustained rapid irregular heartbeat especially with symptoms — atrial fibrillation requires urgent treatment to reduce stroke risk.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

At Klinik Muhibbah, our doctors evaluate palpitations with a thorough history, physical examination including pulse assessment, blood pressure, and an ECG. Blood tests including thyroid function (hyperthyroidism causes palpitations) and full blood count (anaemia) are arranged when indicated. Benign palpitations are managed with reassurance and lifestyle advice (reduce caffeine, manage stress, stay hydrated). Significant arrhythmias detected on ECG are referred to a cardiologist for further evaluation including Holter monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a palpitation check cost at Klinik Muhibbah?▼
A consultation for heart palpitations including an ECG is available at Klinik Muhibbah — please call us at +60 7-251 1162 for current pricing. An ECG provides immediate results. Walk-ins are welcome for palpitation assessment.
How are heart palpitations diagnosed?▼
Our doctors assess palpitations with a clinical history (timing, triggers, duration), physical examination, and an ECG which records the heart's electrical activity. Blood tests checking thyroid function and haemoglobin help exclude metabolic causes. For intermittent palpitations not caught on a resting ECG, a Holter monitor (24-hour ECG) may be arranged via referral.
Are heart palpitations urgent?▼
Occasional palpitations in an otherwise well person are usually not an emergency. However, palpitations with fainting, chest pain, severe breathlessness, or that are sustained and rapid should be assessed urgently — the same day if possible. Our clinic can perform an ECG to help determine whether emergency care is needed.
