What causes palpitations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Palpitations: Palpitations are the subjective sensation of the beating of your heart. Often, this is the result of an early beat that leads to a pause and then a vigorous heart beat that you feel as a "palpitation." Rarely, an irregular heart beat. In most cases, these are benign. Try eliminating caffeine from your diet to see if this has an effect. See your doctor to determine if you need further testing.
