Heart palpitation after workout (stage 3/ workout A-1)
Have been having heart palpitation all day today after my morning workout. Feeling it in my throat, too. Very unpleasant feeling I never had before. Also feeling nauseated. I really gave it 200% at the gym today (Felt fine during the workout itself, but did play mental games with myself to excel). Can this be the reason? Do I need to back off a bit with the intensity?

I'll say yes to workout cause. During your workout, you're ramping up your CNS, probably to a high degree. Then you stop working out, but your CNS is still fired up, so where is all that excess signal to do? I often get twitchy muscles after a workout and the heart is a muscle.
If it really worries you, get a physical (if you haven't had one recently), with close heart monitoring, otherwise, as long as you're not getting more srious symptom (dizziness, nausea, lack of coordination), I'd say for now, don't worry about.
Heart palpitations, when not caused by a medical or genetic reason, are generally caused by stress or panic. You can, however, also experience palpitations from overexertion and spikes in adrenaline. Since you've never experienced this before, paired with the nausea, I would guess that it is the result of your work out.
Palpitations of this sort are generally benign. And, in fact, it is rare when they're not. That said, if you continue to have any discomfort from it, see your doctor.
I have suffered with palpitations for years. Interestingly, they are much less when I am low carb (or maybe it's being off sugar?). At any rate, when I get them, I forcefully cough and that usually kicks my heart right back into rhythm. I've learned over the years how to deal with the palpitations but they are scary.

Yes, Jane, I found myself coughing a lot last night. That seemed to help. I feel normal this morning, like nothing happened.
I have palpitations when under stress. Today during my workout I experienced them when doing the push/press. Not sure why, I think it was the overhead movement that set them off.
Last summer was particularly stressfull with my husband's business and I had the palpitations almost constantly on somedays. I almost went to the doc at that time. But, things settled down and my heart did to.

Thank you for the input.
I too get palpitations. I know how annoying they can be. Mine are definately brought on by stress and/or exercise. I don't feel any during my training, just afterwards when I am at seated usually. And I don't get them all the time either.
I will say though, that they do become tiresome after a whole day. It's funny though, as soon as I go to bed, they stop.
I've had them for years. Nothing to worry about usually.
Like the others have said, mention them to your doctor if you are concerned.
I was noticing palpitations DURING one of my Stage 2 workouts during the cuban snatch. Weird. But, then the next time, it didn't happen. Even though I'm used to getting them off and on, I still hate them!
I get them too and my cardiologist told me that they are very common in women in "their middle years" (I was 37 at the time ... asshole!!) especially those with mitral valve prolapse (which I have) but totally benign even if they are uncomfortable and happen during exercise. He told me I had no need to moderate the intensity of my workouts.
I find mine are totally triggered by sugar. No sugar, no palpitations.
Glad it is better today!!

Julie....I was guessing the same thing for me.......since doing TNT, my palpitations have been negligible (just that one day during Stage 2), so I was thinking carbs and/or sugar as well!
Ha! I hear ya. I am 33 and life just begun as far as I am concerned
Thanks. I am sure though it's not sugar (no carbs). My sugar is negligible, and carbs hover around 150g/day....so gotta be something else.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but have you been taking anything recently? Coffee, tea, or any medicines with caffeine? Or anti-histamines, maybe for spring allergies?
I know that for me personally, I've had experiences with caffeine and allergy medication that's given my heart a fluttering sensation. I took Benedryl for an allergic reaction I had to a (still unknown) food once and it gave me freaky chest pain.
Stimulants mixed with exercise seem like they could have that effect. Maybe you've already thought of that, but I know palpitations can be really disconcerting, so I thought I'd add my two cents in case it helped.
