Dear Varun, If you can think repeatedly that your ecg and 2D echo (no heart attack) is normal, you don't require clonafit at all. Palpitations will come and go by itself. Clonafit may not damage your brain - but it will make you take it for small fear. Many fears you can learn to deal in non medical way, if you don't take clonafit.
