Caffeine intake?: You seem to be describing palpitations, but could also be describing other types of arrythmias, or irregular heart ryhthms. If you are taking in much caffeine such as coffee, tea, caffeinated soft drinks, green tea, chocolates etc. These can cause an irregular heart rhthym. In the event it could be serious, you should see your physician. You may need an ekg or a 24 hour monitor to evaluate futher.
