What's the fastest / safest way to stop heart palpitations?

Calm down: Palpitations are the sensation of a heavy heartbeat which follows a skipped or early heartbeat. These are often triggered by stimulants, which can include caffeine, nicotine, theophylline (in tea and chocolate) and adrenaline. So quit smoking, cut the coffee and tea, and get some sleep. Palpitations usually aren't dangerous. If you have symptoms like chest pain or dizziness see a doctor.
