Heart palpitations can occur for a variety of reasons, but they are perhaps most scary when they happen out of nowhere. These can be defined as feeling a pounding or fluttering heartbeat, as opposed to a normal, regulated one. Again, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is typically not something to be overwhelmed by. However, if you experience heart palpitations as a system, it's important to be tested to rule out another type of irregular heartbeat disorder, called atrial fibrillation. If you have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome along with this, the condition can actually be life-threatening. However, this is rare, and treatment certainly reduces this risk.

If you begin to have regular episodes of anxiety, especially if there is no clear, identifiable cause or trigger, be sure to visit a physician to undergo an ECG to rule out Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Though regular anxiousness could be a sign of psychological distress, the physical symptoms mirror those of a heart condition.
