[|Human|] i am a 22-year old woman, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs about 66 kilograms and suffers from sickle cell anaemia. used to have palpitations when i was younger but they stopped. Recently (about 2 weeks ago), they started again. Is it just one of the side effects of being a sickle cell patient?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Palpitations are not directly associated with sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease can cause pickling of the red blood cells and thus blockage of the blood vessels of various organs. This condition causes pain, however, palpitation is unlikely to be due to sickle cell disease. You need to consult your physician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
