Palpitations can be caused by various factors. In this case, it is important to first consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. However, to help alleviate the symptoms, you can consider giving your mother a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. The usual dosage for palpitations is around 25-50mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Additionally, it is important to ensure your mother is staying hydrated, managing stress levels, and getting adequate rest.
