A member asked:

I've been having heart palpitations at night since returning from a trip to vegas where i ate lots of junk food. could the food have caused this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Junk food: Yes, junk food might cause your heart palpitations but if you are also taking perhaps too much liquor, please stop that for a few days. If alcohol was not something you drank while in Vegas, you must see your primary doctor.
