Go to ER or Wait for a pcp app?

Question

I've been having heart palpitations on and off for the last 4 days now. I get a little short of breathe when they happen but no pain so far. 
It's really hard to get into a pcp right now. I'm on a waiting list to be scheduled at one drs office, they estimate that I'll be scheduled for July. Everywhere else I've called either isn't accepting new patients or their wait time is a longer estimate.

Answer

I second the urgent care recommendation

Answer

Do you have urgent cares? This isn’t really an ER visit unless you think you’re having a heart attack. I have heart palpitations when I get really stressed/overwhelmed. I worked with my therapist on how to calm myself down. But heart palpitations can mean a number of things that shouldn’t wait until July. Maybe an urgent care can then refer you out to specialists/ekg/cardiac etc

Answer

Urgent care. I’d also get a new pcp that’s way too long.

Urgent care

Answer

Urgent care

Answer

Agree with the urgent care recommendations. However I am also dealing with this, I get dropped beats and low pulse and I was legit just seen 3 days ago and have an echo/heart monitoring visit next week. If you begin to have chest pain, difficulty breathing (the breathe catching after is fine but prolonged difficulty breathing is not), your palpations last more than 2 hours without stopping or become worse, or you begin to feel confused, please go to the ER. I'm obviously not a dr but this is what was recommended to me and i was actually scolded for not going in when mine lasted for 3hrs and I developed confusion so it is important to be seen asap if you develop any of those symptoms along with the palpitations.
