There are medications to control heart palpitations if they are actually something like atrial tachycardia (fast beating atrium) or atrial fibrillation (atrium that flutters rather than pumps.)
A person should consider medication in cases where the palpitations last more than an hour or two. Uncontrolled, certain of these ailments can churn the blood to the point that it clots in the blood vessels.
