I am 18 and now 100 pounds since i lost weight. can losing a lot of weight cause problems with my heart because i have palpitations recently ?

Weight loss: Weight itself should not cause palpitations, but how or what you are doing to loss weight can. If you are taking a stimulant or caffeine containing supplement then yes you can get palpitations. Also if you are really restricting your diet this can can cause an imbalance of electrolytes which can cause heart palpitations.
