My brother is experiencing palpitations of the heart. It's been going on for the last 5 days or so. He only feels it after 1pm and it happens at rest and during work as a sales clerk. He's not overly stressed, but is a little stressed about making enough money. He's experienced this before when he took caffeine pills a few years ago but made sure not to take caffeine recently. He doesn't workout and I would say he's pretty lazy playing world of warcraft most of the day when he's not working 30 hr/week. His heart will skip a beat a few times a minute or more during the worst times, but not usually that often. He said it's been getting worse. He doesn't have health insurance and does not want to go to the hospital unless it's a major issue. He wants to wait to see if it will get better on its own. It kept him from sleeping, that's when we talked about it, and now he's going to try sleeping again. I don't know what to do about the situation.
