Palpitations and heart rhythm specialists in Canberra

Who treats palpitations?

Palpitations are a feeling of a racing, pounding or irregular heartbeat. Your GP will usually start with an ECG and may refer you to a cardiologist for heart monitoring and tests. Chest pain, fainting or severe breathlessness needs urgent care.

Start with your GP: they can assess you, arrange tests and write the referral you need for a Medicare rebate. General information only, not medical advice.
