A member asked:
Can the cause of my palpitations be stress if i've never had palpitations due to stress before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: No one ever has anything until the first time that they do have it, right? Stress, caffeine, smoking, diet pills, cola, coffee, asthma medicines, cocaine, lack of sleep - all can contribute. Many times there's no reason at all. Palpitations tend to come and go. If it's bothersome, it's time to see your doctor.
