⚠️ MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

This video is for people whose heart symptoms have already been evaluated by a doctor. New or unexplained palpitations should always be assessed by a healthcare professional first — they can have many causes, including serious heart rhythm disorders.

Seek emergency care immediately if palpitations occur with chest pain, fainting, severe shortness of breath, or a rapid heartbeat that won't stop.
