Palpitations Treatment in Johor Bahru

Degupan Jantung Tidak Normal

Palpitations are the unpleasant awareness of your own heartbeat — a feeling that the heart is racing, pounding, fluttering, or skipping beats. While often benign and triggered by caffeine, stress, or dehydration, palpitations can occasionally indicate cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, or ventricular ectopics. In Malaysia, hyperthyroidism is a particularly important and common cause of persistent palpitations that requires specific blood test investigation.

Symptoms of Palpitations

✓Sensation of the heart racing, pounding, or beating fast
✓Feeling of the heart flipping, fluttering, or skipping a beat
✓Irregular heartbeat sensation in the chest or throat
✓Palpitations associated with dizziness or lightheadedness
✓Shortness of breath accompanying fast heart rate
✓Chest discomfort or tightness during episodes

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

Seek immediate attention if palpitations are accompanied by chest pain, fainting, severe shortness of breath, or occur in someone with known heart disease. See a doctor for palpitations that are frequent (more than once a week), prolonged (lasting more than a few minutes), associated with dizziness, or occur in someone with a family history of sudden cardiac death.

At Klinik Muhibbah, Masai, our doctors perform a resting ECG to capture any rhythm abnormality, blood tests (thyroid function, electrolytes, full blood count for anaemia), and thorough cardiovascular examination. Where the cause is identified, treatment is targeted — thyroid medication for hyperthyroidism, beta-blockers for symptomatic ectopics, or specialist referral for documented arrhythmias.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are palpitations dangerous?▼
Most palpitations are benign — caused by caffeine, stress, anxiety, or benign ectopic beats. However, palpitations with chest pain, fainting, or significant breathlessness can indicate serious arrhythmias. An ECG and thyroid blood test at Klinik Muhibbah can rapidly identify whether your palpitations require further investigation. Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
Can thyroid problems cause palpitations?▼
Yes. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is a very common cause of persistent palpitations in Malaysia. Excess thyroid hormone speeds the heart rate. A simple TSH blood test diagnoses hyperthyroidism. We screen for and treat thyroid disorders at Klinik Muhibbah, Masai.
How is palpitation investigated at Klinik Muhibbah?▼
We perform a resting ECG (heart tracing) to look for arrhythmias, and blood tests for thyroid function, electrolytes, anaemia, and blood glucose. Results are typically available the same day. Where we find an arrhythmia, we arrange Holter monitor referral or cardiologist review. Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah.
