A member asked:
I drink caffeine and have anxiety. i've had a few normal ekg but sometimes i feel my heart flutter a little. is this normal?

Caffeine: Caffeine can cause palpitations -- it's part of its pharmacological profile. It can also worsen anxiety, especially if you have an anxiety disorder. You could stop the caffeine and see what happens . . . You might feel a whole lot better.
