Although not all episodes will be dangerous, it is dangerous to take such signs as negligence.
According to Dr Pavankumar P Rasalkar, Consultant Interventional Cardiology, Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, "the first and most important step in evaluating chest pain or palpitations is usually a simple test called an ECG (Electrocardiogram).
