A member asked:
Why does too much salt cause me to have skipped beats / heart palpitations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Palpitations: Salt per se shouldn't precipitate palpitations although it can raise the blood pressure. To affect heart action it would have to cause fluid retention which could put strain on a weak heart but not one with healthy heart and kidneys. Caffeine, nicotine and alcohol can induce palpitations, however.
